406 S., mit Vorwort des Autors zur deutschen Ausgabe, mit einer Kurzbiographie. John Augustus Roebling (geboren als Johann August Röbling am 12. Juni 1806 in Mühlhausen in Thüringen; gestorben am 22. Juli 1869 in New York City) war ein deutsch-amerikanischer Ingenieur und Brückenbauer. Weltbekannt wurde er als Konstrukteur der Brooklyn Bridge in New York.- David Barnard Steinman (June 11, 1886 August 21, 1960) was an American civil engineer. He was the designer of the Mackinac Bridge and many other notable bridges, and a published author. He grew up in New York City's lower Manhattan, and lived with the ambition of making his mark on the Brooklyn Bridge that he lived under. He built bridges in the United States, Thailand, England, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Canada, Korea, Iraq and Pakistan.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: good. First edition. First edition (stated). Cloth, 457 pps. with index; illustrated with photographs. Fine in the uncommon dust jacket, price clipped and with wear to the extremities and edges. Highly readable and fascinating account of the designing and building of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Engineer John A. Roebling had designed and built other cable stayed suspension bridges (the most famous a smaller but almost look-alike one over the Ohio River linking Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky) but this was to be the longest suspension bridge in the world with a main span of 1595.5 feet at an elevation over the East River at 127 feet at high water. Roebling's son, Washington A. Roebling and his wife Emily, also an engineer, oversaw construction beginning in 1870. In June 1869, John A. suffered a crushed foot when a felly struck nim on site, Tetanus set in leading to lockjaw and completely incapacitating Roebling for the final month of his life. His son Washington, aged 32, was named chief engineer to replace him. He made a number of improvements to the design and building techniques including the design of the two pneumatic caissons that would become the foundations of the bridge's two towers. While work was taking place in one of the caissons, a fire broke out and Washington went to help; he suffered a severe case of decompression sickness ("the bends") that rendered him so incapacitated that he could not even go to the site, watching and verbally assisting construction from his window in Brooklyn Heights. His wife Emily, who had taught herself bridge construction, took over role (if not the title) of chief engineer, running the day to day operations. The bridge (then officially named the New York and Brooklyn Bridge or the East River bridge, formally opened on May 24, 1883.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Practical Treatise on Suspension Bridges Their Design, Construction and Erection' is a comprehensive and foundational resource in the field of civil engineering. Authored by the renowned engineer D. B. Steinman, this work provides a rigorous examination of the principles governing the planning and building of suspension structures. It covers the essential mathematics and physics behind cable-supported spans, offering detailed insights into the design of towers, stiffening trusses, and anchorage systems.The treatise is organized to assist both students and practicing engineers, detailing the methodologies for calculating stresses and ensuring structural integrity under various loads. Beyond theoretical frameworks, the text explores practical aspects of construction and erection, reflecting the technical advancements of the early 20th century. Steinman's expertise is evident in his clear explanations of complex engineering challenges and his systematic approach to bridge architecture. As a significant contribution to the literature of structural engineering, 'A Practical Treatise on Suspension Bridges Their Design, Construction and Erection' remains a valuable reference for understanding the evolution of modern bridge design and the enduring principles that continue to inform the construction of iconic spans worldwide.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Brown Cloth Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. 1932. First edition. ix, 138pp., a fronitspiece and numerous figures within the text. The Wichert Truss was designed by E.M. Wichert in Pittsburgh in 1930 and is characterized by its deck arch design with a diamond-shaped panel above each pier. The curved lower chord gives the bridge the form of an arch, but it does not rely on arch action to carry the load, according to sources. Wichert trusses were experimented with numerous deck-truss-arch bridges in and around Pittsburgh, and many of them still exist today. The purpose of this book is to acquaint engineers and engineering students with the features and methods of analysis of the Wichert Truss. The book is bound in the original brown cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear on the boards and fading to the spine. The spine ends are bumped and the titling on the spine is worn and indistinct. The contents are tight and clean with a letter dated 1932 from The Witchert Continuous Bridge Corporation, signed by E.M. Wichert, tipped-in on the front fixed endpaper. Signed letter by Wichert.…
