A Practical Treatise On Suspension Bridges: Their Design, Construction And Erection (1922) is a comprehensive guide to the engineering principles and techniques involved in the construction of suspension bridges. Written by David Barnard Steinman, a renowned American civil engineer and bridge builder, this book provides a detailed overview of the design, construction, and erection of suspension bridges, including their history, materials, and structural components.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of suspension bridge construction. The first section provides an overview of suspension bridge history and theory, including the basic principles of suspension bridge design and the various types of suspension bridges that have been built over the years.The second section of the book focuses on the materials used in suspension bridge construction, including the various types of steel and other metals that are commonly used. This section also covers the various techniques used to fabricate and assemble these materials into the complex structural components required for a suspension bridge.The third section of the book covers the actual construction process, including the various stages of construction and the tools and equipment used by engineers and construction workers. This section also includes detailed information on the various safety considerations that must be taken into account during the construction process.The final section of the book covers the erection of the suspension bridge, including the various techniques used to lift and position the bridge components into place. This section also includes information on the various tests and inspections that must be conducted to ensure that the bridge is safe and structurally sound.Overall, A Practical Treatise On Suspension Bridges: Their Design, Construction And Erection (1922) is an essential resource for anyone interested in the engineering principles and techniques involved in the construction of suspension bridges. Whether you are a student of civil engineering, a professional bridge builder, or simply a curious reader, this book provides a wealth of information and insight into one of the most impressive feats of engineering ever accomplished.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
