Suspension Bridges And Cantilevers - David Barnard Steinman - Bog

Suspension Bridges and Cantilevers: Their Economic Proportions and Limiting Spans (1911) is a book written by David Barnard Steinman, an American civil engineer who specialized in the design and construction of suspension bridges. The book explores the principles and practical considerations involved in the design and construction of suspension bridges and cantilevers, including their economic proportions and limiting spans. It covers topics such as the selection of materials, the calculation of loads and stresses, the design of towers and anchorages, and the construction methods used to build these impressive structures. The book is a valuable resource for engineers and architects interested in the history and theory of suspension bridges and cantilevers, as well as for students and researchers in the field of civil engineering. Written in a clear and concise style, it provides a comprehensive overview of the subject matter and is illustrated with numerous diagrams and photographs to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, Suspension Bridges and Cantilevers is a seminal work in the field of bridge engineering and a testament to Steinman's expertise and innovation in this area.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
