Live-Load Stresses In Railway Bridges: With Formulas And Tables (1916)

By George Erle Beggs

Book Overview

Live-Load Stresses In Railway Bridges: With Formulas And Tables (1916) is a technical book written by George E. Beggs. The book is primarily focused on the stresses that railway bridges experience due to live loads, which are the loads that move over the bridge. The author provides various formulas and tables to calculate these stresses. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of live-load stresses in railway bridges. The first chapter provides an introduction to the topic and explains the importance of understanding live-load stresses in bridge design. The second chapter discusses the different types of live loads that railway bridges may encounter, such as locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars.The third chapter provides detailed information on the calculation of live-load stresses, including the use of the influence line method, which is a technique used to determine the maximum stress at any point on a bridge. The fourth chapter covers the calculation of stresses in different types of bridges, such as trusses, girders, and arches.The fifth chapter provides tables that can be used to calculate live-load stresses in railway bridges. These tables are based on various factors such as the span of the bridge, the type of bridge, and the type of live load. The final chapter of the book discusses the design of railway bridges to withstand live-load stresses.Overall, Live-Load Stresses In Railway Bridges: With Formulas And Tables (1916) is a comprehensive guide for engineers and designers involved in the design and construction of railway bridges. The book provides a wealth of information on the calculation of live-load stresses and offers practical solutions for designing bridges that can withstand these stresses.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
