Unlock the engineering details behind a 400-foot railway arch design that blends theory with practical methods.

This edition presents the approach used to size members, plan the floor system, and account for loads from dead weight, wind, and temperature. It explains how stresses are calculated and then combined to reach final design values, with diagrams and plates illustrating the member composition.

The book walks you through the design choices for the main truss, floor system, and sway bracing. It shows how conventional specifications guided the layout of chords, diagonals, and gusset plates, and how field rivets and shop details fit into the overall design.

Learn how truss members are built and connected, including chords, diagonals, and gusset plates.
See how live and dead loads, wind effects, and temperature changes are modeled and combined.
Follow the step-by-step method used to determine maximum stresses and revised areas.
Understand wind and sway bracing layouts and how they influence the design.

Ideal for readers of historical engineering design references and students of structural design.
