Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quebec Bridge, an Engineering Triumph in the World's History: The Connecting Link Between the Canadian Government Railways North and South of the St. Lawrence, Its History and Its Future The Board made very exhaustive studies of various possible designs, both suspension and cantilever. Tenders were called on cantilever de signs with invitation to submit alternative tenders on the bidders' own designs. One German, one English, and one American firm bid on the Board's designs, but the St. Lawrence Bridge Company bid only on their own alternative K-truss designs. And received the contract. The Government had invited both the Dominion and Canadian bridge companies to tender on the new Quebec bridge. But it was thought that if the Canadian bridge companies were to present a solid front In the bidding - in other words. To pool their organizations. Experience and facilities - that Canada would have a better chance of being success in] In the bidding. And the Canadian Bridge Com pany therefore joined with the Dominion Bridge Company as joint owners of the capital stock of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, and the only bids made by any Canadian firm were submitted In the name of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company.

Download or read book On Cold Iron written by Dan Levert and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When engineering students in Canada are soon to graduate, the solemn “Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer,” penned by none other than Rudyard Kipling, charges them with their Obligation to high standards, humility, and ethics. Each budding engineer then receives an Iron Ring to be worn on the small finger of the working hand as a reminder throughout their career. Through the story of the 1907 Quebec Bridge disaster, in which seventy-six men died, author Dan Levert teaches a powerful object lesson in what can happen when that Obligation is forgotten. Woven from transcripts of the inquiry into the collapse, the report of the commissioners, and other sources including the coroner’s inquest, On Cold Iron plays out like a fast-paced thriller. Levert recounts the original 1850s proposals to bridge the St. Lawrence near Quebec City, through the design and construction of what was to be the longest clear span bridge of any kind in the world, to its shocking collapse during construction in August 1907. The missteps, poor policies, hubris, and wrong-headed actions begin to build like a death by a thousand cuts, until its inevitable and horrifying culmination. The meticulously researched and deftly delivered story of this terrible historical event makes fascinating reading for anyone, but even more, it is a powerful cautionary tale and a clarion call for the obligation and responsibility of an engineer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1900-1917, the city of Québec was host to one of the most colossal building sites in North America: the construction of the longest iron bridge in the world. At the cutting edge of the technology of the time, it featured the cantilever principle originating from Japan. This construction was an extraordinary adventure, and tragic at times since the bridge collapsed three times before its completion. This gigantic enterprise was perfectly documented and thousands of photographs have been preserved, among which some of the most evocative were chosen for this book.

Book excerpt: From New York Times best-selling author Judith Dupréomes a revised and updated edition of Bridges, her magnificent chronological tour of the world's most significant and eye-popping spans. Covering thousands of years of architectural history, each bridge is gorgeously photographed "elevating the landmarks from mode of transportation to works of art" (Bustle). Technological advances, structural daring, and artistic vision have propelled the evolution of bridge design around the world. This visual history of the world's landmark bridges has been thoroughly revised andupdated since its initial publication twenty-five years ago, and now showcases well-known classics as well as modern innovators. Bridges featured include: The Brooklyn Bridge (New York) Dany and-Kunshan Grand Bridge (China) Gateshead Millennium Bridge (England) The Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco) Zakim Bridge (Boston) Including all-new photographs and the latest cutting edgework from today's international superstars of architecture and engineering, Bridges covers two-thousand years of technological and aesthetic triumphs, making it the most thorough, authoritative, and gorgeous book on the subject-as dramatic in presentation as the structures it celebrates. Breathtaking photographs capture the bridges' details as well as their monumental scale; architectural drawings and plans invite you behind the scenes as new bridges take shape; and lively commentary on each structure explores its importance and places it in historical context. Throughout, informative profiles, features, and statistics make Bridges an invaluable reference as well as a visual feast.
