Supplement to the Theory, Practice, and Architecture of Bridges: Illustrating the Most Recent Applications of Cast and Wrought Iron, Stone, and Timber, and Suspension (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book, an inquiry into the application of iron to building structures, was published by the British government in 1850. At the time of its writing, iron was being increasingly used in railway construction but the authors noted a lack of standardization and voiced concerns about the safety of certain structures. Through original research, the author and contributors aimed to provide civil engineers with data and observations to improve the safety of iron bridges and other railway structures. Their experiments revealed that the impact of trains on bridges could cause significant structural damage, including fractures, and that the speed of trains could exacerbate these effects. The authors concluded that it was advisable for engineers to design bridges that could withstand forces six times greater than the heaviest anticipated load, and to consider the effects of train speed and the weight of the bridge itself when calculating the strength needed. These insights laid the foundation for modern bridge engineering practices and continue to inform structural design today.
