Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buildings and Structures of American Railroads: A Reference Book for Railroad Managers, Superintendents, Master Mechanics, Engineers, Architects, and Students It is hardly necessary to call attention to the scarcity of American literature on build ings and similar structures connected with the station service, maintenance of way and operating departments of railroads. With the exception of isolated articles to be found in technical periodicals or in the publications of professional societies, accurate and exhaustive data relating to existing railroad structures can only be obtained by personal inspection or by addressing the proper department official in charge of the work in question. The purpose of this book is to obviate to a large extent the necessity of railroad men and others in search of such information having to resort to tedious investigations and personal inquiries. Attention is also called to the fact that most of the subjects embraced in this book have never before been discussed in print in a systematic and thorough manner. The aim of the author has been to present a collection embodying the best practice for each particular class of structure, whether cheap or expensive, and showing the sundry varia tions caused by individual views or local conditions in different sections of the country. Particular attention has been paid to the smaller buildings connected with the roadway and operating departments. The cheap and simple structures in use in the thinly settled sections of the country have been considered of as much importance as those of the most elaborate and artistic design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Location Surveys and Estimates While, of course, there must be a somewhat wide latitude in methods to adapt them to varying conditions, there seems to be growing at the present time, especially in the West, where most of the railroad location in this country is being done at the present time, what may be regarded as an approach to a standard in this work, and it is with the idea of defining these methods that the present book has been undertaken; and also to describe, what the party will actually have to do in the field, the actual details of work, not only in making the surveys, but in the production of the maps, profiles and records, and estimates of cost, and data for making the same. The economics of railroad location, as treated by the late A. M. Wellington, have been barely touched on, the idea of the author being to take the subject up to the point where nine-tenths of the locating engineers (as that title is usually used in the West) have to, that is, with a general route, within more or less wide limits, and a maximum desired grade decided on, the prob lem being to work out the details of the location between two given points with these conditions given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Construction The construction and maintenance of a railway calls for the application of so many branches of engineering that several volumes would be required to do ample justice to a subject so comprehensive and ever-extending. To avoid attempting so wide a range, the object of the following pages has been to describe briefly some of the recognized leading features which regulate railway construction, and to assist the explanation with sketches of works selected from actual practice. Where the number of existing good examples is legion, it is somewhat difficult to make a choice for illustration, and the course adopted has been to select such samples of structures as appear best to elucidate in a simple manner the different types of work under consideration. In the drawings and diagrams many important minor details are necessarily omitted, partly to avoid complexity, but principally to leave more prominent the leading features of the particular piece of work referred to in the description. Some of the sketches of the large span bridges and large span roofs are only shown in outline; but, as their principal dimensions are given, a general idea can be obtained of their actual proportions. No allusion is made to the requisite strengths of the various structures described, nor to the necessary dimensions of the materials used in their construction, as this would necessitate the introduction of a vast amount of mathematical formulae which does not come under the province of the object in view, and which the engineer has already at command from his training and works of reference.

Download or read book Railroad Construction Classic Reprint written by Charles Lee Crandall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Construction This book had its beginning in some notes on railroad con struction which were first prepared about twenty-five years ago and were issued in mimeograph form for the use of students in the College of Civil Engineering at Cornell University. These notes have required frequent revision in order to keep them abreast of ever changing practice, but so much has been done in the last few years in the direction of standardizing construction that the time now seems opportune for enlarging them into a book, for general use. The discussions in engineering associations and in the technical papers have done much to stimulate interest and develop effort. They have also tended to standardize practice by suggesting to each engineer the adoption of the good features of the standards of other railroads, which were improvements upon and applicable to his own road. The method adopted by the American Railway Engineering Association of assigning topics to committees for investigation and report, the report to be presented at the annual convention for general discussion, has accomplished much in this direction. In this work an attempt has been made to present to the reader glimpses of the field and to impress upon him something of the spirit of the work.

Bogue, Civil Engineer The new uniform live load, given in Paragraph 37, which may be substituted for the Cooper concentrated loadings, is presented for the use of engineers who prefer to use uniform loads, rather than wheel loads, in their computations. It will give somewhat greater moments for spans up to about one hundred and fifty feet in length, and slightly smaller moments for spans over four hun dred feet in length, which is considered an advantage.
