Charles B. Bender's principles of economy in metallic bridge design represents a landmark in engineering literature. Detailing the advantages and challenges of designing large-scale metal structures, Bender's work offers an in-depth look at the technical and economic aspects of bridge building. With case studies, design calculations, and numerous illustrations and diagrams, this volume is an indispensable resource for engineers and architects alike.

Excerpt from The Design and Construction of Metallic Bridges This book is based upon the ninth edition of The Stresses in Bridge and Roof Trusses, Arched Ribs, and Suspension Bridges, by one of the Authors of this volume. T hat work, however, has been so thoroughly rewritten and such a large amount of new matter has been introduced that a new title has been' adopted. It has been the intention of the Authors to prepare a comprehensive book covering all types of trusses used to a material extent in American bridge practice, or at least all trusses forming the basis of that practice. In con formity With this plan, the most advanced methods of stress computations, as well as those that are older, have been employed.

Excerpt from Economic Development of Bridge Construction The relative merits of the different types of simple railway bridges are well understood, but very little has been written treating the subject directly. As the subject is an important one any bridge engineer should be a master of it. The author feels the necessity of a thorough understanding of this subject for his future career, and takes the Opportunity to study it When good libraries are accessible for compilation. He compiles this work to treat on the general design of railway bridges, and does not expect to deal With detail construction. It would be well to have a study of the relative merits of all the differant types of bridges, but as such a study is exceedingly broad, only the relative merits of simple steel railway bridges are considered. The wora simple is used to include bridges Whose stresses are statically determinate, cantilever bridges excepted, and the word steel is used to mean Bessemer or Open hearth steel which are sometimes called ingot iron.

Excerpt from The Design of Simple Steel Bridges IN writing this book my idea has been to revise and rearrange my former book, entitled Manual of Bridge Design, which has been used for some considerable time as a text-book on this subject by the Royal Engineers at the School of Military Engineering, Chatham. I have endeavoured to depart from the generality of text books, and to keep ever before the student the practical aim or object for which he is striving. I have also tried always to illustrate theoretical deductions and conclusions with examples from actual practice. The book is full of practical examples and illustrations, and contains many details of all sorts connected with bridge work. I have confined this work to simple bridges. On all hands text-books by celebrated men abound which investigate most thoroughly every conceivable kind of structure or girder, books which go into deep mathematics, and which at their conclusion do not venture to advise any particular course of action under any set circumstances, but leave the engineer to decide for himself. In this book I have therefore avoided any deep mathematics; a graphic solution of every problem is given where such a solution is useful, and I. Have in simple language endeavoured to advise or lay down a course of action in almost every case. And although the course of action recommended may sometimes be open to question as to whether it is the best, yet I think it is always good.

Excerpt from Artistic Bridge Design: A Systematic Treatise on the Design of Modern Bridges According to Aesthetic Principles A lack of artistic treatment is the greatest fault of American bridges. These structures are worthy of greater thought and study because they are usually such conspicuous objects in the landscape. The lack of art is no doubt partly due to the dearth of literature on the subject and the difficulty in securing good illustrations, and it is hoped that this book will assist in producing better results.
