Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces insights from the preliminary reports created by the Committee on Science and Arts within the Franklin Institute to evaluate the structural integrity of the Wensleydale suspension bridge that tragically failed in 1850. The suspension bridge was a pivotal step in the evolution of bridge engineering, combining chains and cables suspended from towers with a wooden plank roadway. Despite its popularity at the time, the collapse of the Wensleydale bridge raised serious concerns about the safety and stability of these structures. The author analyzes the reports of the committees assembled by the Franklin Institute to investigate the disaster and subsequent tests conducted on a chain bridge across the Schuylkill River. This book chronicles the methodologies and results of these investigations, uncovering the causes of the Wensleydale bridge failure and proposing remedies to prevent future catastrophes. By examining the processes used by the committees led by the Franklin Institute, the author reveals the engineering insights that emerged from this tragedy. These insights include improved methods for constructing and testing suspension bridges, as well as a deeper understanding of the materials used in their construction. This book not only provides a historical account of the Wensleydale bridge collapse but also presents valuable lessons learned that continue to influence the design and construction of suspension bridges today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331944850_0
