CHAPTEB Y. os Jcxj-j Ayr-T-v?ntrv.--Excavatdtg and builling the brickwork of a Tunnel is done piece by piece, or in lengths, as they are termed; one length being mined and lined complete before any great amount of work is done in the next. The length of a length must be determined by the probable weight which will require supporting on the bars before the brickwork can be commenced and brought up; also upon the size and quality of the timber procurable for bars. A length is seldom more than 6 yards long, generally 5 yards, and in a heavy Tunnel 4 yards, and this sometimes has to be reduced to 3 yards in length. Let us suppose that lengths of 5 yards each can be worked, and that the Tunnel is rather heavy, and that drawing barn are required. In a light Tunnel all bars carrying the roof can be taken out as the brickwork is built up to them, and are called "taking-out bars," that is to say, that the ground is excavated and mined as nearly as can be to the exact shape of the extrados of tho brickwork, or lining, and therefore the back of the bars wipporting tho ground is just even with the back of the lining, excepting fivo or six of them at or about the crown of the arch, which aro kept up a few inches to compensate for settlement and witf; Mm Whiih aro built and the arch commenced, and when it coniim up to tho underside of the lowermost bar, it (the bar) is removed, and Ho on until all the bars are out and the arch keyed. It will ho obvious that when the arch is complete all but about BAES AND CILLS. 33 4 feet (measuring transversely), the crown, or top bar, must be taken out, and that the ground and incomplete arch are thus left without any support but that of the centres, and that the pressure or weight must be very Blight to allow of...

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hoosac Tunnel and Troy and Greenfield Rail Road As before stated, the gallery at the west end, some 550 feet long, was excavated through a body of loose limestone; be yond this point, the material changes to earth and Mohamed, abounding in water, and in which very little progress has been made. The present indications are that this formation will continue, with little interruption, to the base of the moun tain - say, feet, or about half a mile. There can be no doubt that a tunnel through these materials will require heavy side walls, with substantial arching overhead and, through much of the distance, an inverted arch at the bottom.

Download or read book Crossing Under the Hudson written by Angus Kress Gillespie and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Under the Hudson takes a fresh look at the planning and construction of two key links in the transportation infrastructure of New York and New Jersey--the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels. Writing in an accessible style that incorporates historical accounts with a lively and entertaining approach, Angus Kress Gillespie explores these two monumental works of civil engineering and the public who embraced them. He describes and analyzes the building of the tunnels, introduces readers to the people who worked there--then and now--and places the structures into a meaningful cultural context with the music, art, literature, and motion pictures that these tunnels, engineering marvels of their day, have inspired over the years. Today, when new concerns about global terrorism may trump bouts of simple tunnel tension, Gillespie's Crossing Under the Hudson continues to cast a light at the end of the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels.
