Description
Excerpt from The Design of Typical Steel Railway Bridges: An Elementary Course of Engineering Students and Draftsmen
At the outset, a general specification has been given govern ing the loads, unit stresses, and such other details as require the attention of the designer. This is followed by tables for the permissible unit stresses in columns, and for the rivet values used in the designs. After which, instructions have been given for constructing the moment-diagram which is employed in computing the bending moments and shears for wheel-loads. The author has found the moment-diagram to be the most satis factory method of dealing with wheel-loads, as it affords a rapid and reliable solution, and significant errors are less likely to occur with its use than with that of any form of moment table.
