Excerpt from Detailed Study of Specifications for Steel Bridges: Thesis

The science of bridge design has not yet reached that ideal stage where a purely theoretical treatment of all divisions of the subject can be made. Huch must still be left to the individual iudgement of engineers, and just so long as assumptions nust be made will there be diferences in opinion. The writer has taken as an example of recent specifications those published by the American Railway Engineering and haintenance of Way Association for 1006, and,selecting certain of the clauses upon which there is some diversltg of opinion,has endeavored to deduce from dis eussions published in the proceedings of engineering societies and in the engineering press for the last twenty years or more and from the theories given in textbooks the laws that obtain, in so far as they have been established. The conclusions are stated at the close of each discussion in the form of a ne. Clause em bodysng any changes that seem to be juftifiable.
