IN THREE PARTS: THEORETICAL, PRACTICAL, AND DESCRIPTIVE. Assoc. INST. C. E., MEM. INST. M. E., Author of "A Record of the Progress of Modern Engineering,” “A Handy Book for the Calculation of Strains in Girders," &c., &c. EXTRACT FROM PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. Much has been added to the Theoretical part, especially to Chapters III. and VII. In the latter an attempt has been made to lead the reader on to a clear conception of the action of shearing forces and bending moments on the several parts of open-webbed girders, with both parallel and inclined booms. This has necessitated the introduction of elementary matter, which the more advanced student will be able to pass over. The Chapters on Arches and Suspension Bridges have been entirely rewritten; they will be found suggestive rather than exhaustive. The results of some recent experiments have been added to the Tables of the strength of cast and wrought-iron and steel; and the Tables of dimensions, weight, and cost of various iron bridges have been extended. The Chapter on the "Practical Application of the Formula" will be found to coutain much additional information. The recapitulation of formulæ, which appeared at the end of this chapter in the first edition, has been in the present instance omitted, as the copious Index and enlarged Table of Contents will enable the formulæ given for any case to be readily found. To the "Descriptive" portion of the treatise, four examples of bridges have been added-all of the suspension class; they were really a necessary complement to the work, as in the first edition no illustrations were given of structures of this type. Although three of the examples have already been published, I have deemed it advisable to insert them, as they may be considered fair representatives of what has been done in this particular branch of Engineering. It will of course be understood that the whole of the letter-press has been subjected to a striet revision; and great care has been taken to correct the typographical and other errors which were discovered in the few stereotype plates that have been retained. THE FOLLOWING SEVENTEEN PLATES AND DIAGRAMS ARE INSERTED WITH THE TEXT, IN VOL I. Sections of Wrouht-Iron Girders-Sections of Wrought-Iron Bridges-Parapets of various Bridges-Punching, Shearing, and Riveting Machines - Coode's Diving Cylinder --Milroy's Excavator-Hughes' Method of Sinking Cylinders-Bridge Piers on the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway-Curve of Strains on Victoria Bridge, Australia-Curve of Strains on Victoria Bridge, Montreal-Curve of Strains on Slaines BridgeCurve of Strains on Britannia Bridge-Curve of Strains on Britannia Bridge - Results of Tests on Victoria Bridge, Pimlico-Proportions of Piers on Bombay, Baroda, and Central Judia Railway-Results of Tests on Jumna Bridge-Results of Tests on Shannon Bridge.
