About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 Excerpt: ...was established in Mr. Gayler's design of the Grand Avenue suspension bridge at St. Louis, in which the trussed eye-bar cables were united at a single pin-joint in the center, thus rendering all stresses statically determinate, the truss becoming simply an inverted three-hinged arch. In a paper read before the club some years ago 1 I stated that, for railway purposes, the cantalever type of bridge seemed destined to occupy a field intermediate between that held by the simple truss for moderate spans--to about 600 feet--and that which would probably be covered by some form of suspension system, for spans exceeding 1500 to 2000 feet. While such figures, unless based on actual comparative designs under given conditions, can be regarded, at best, only as loosely approximate, it is seen that they agree substantially with those suggested by Professor Burr. The economic advantages of cantalever bridges compared with non-continuous ones for long spans, are due chiefly to the fact that their economic mean-depth is considerably less. With a favorable length-ratio for the suspended span, the average bending moment in the central span (cantalever arms and suspended span) is only about one-third of that in a simple truss of the same length, while the shears are essentially equal. It is, therefore, practicable to adopt a considerably smaller ratio of width (between trusses) to span, than for non-continuous trusses. In the case of high piers, the usual accompaniments of long spans, this results in a great saving in masonry, besides the reduction in the weight of the floor-system. 1 Proceiilbigx, 13 (1896), 81. THE ATBARA RIVER BRIDGE. RICHARD KHUEN, JR. Rrad Xavember 18, 1899. Probably every one Iiere this evening has heard more or less about the bridge over the Atbara ri...
