Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Detailed Study of Bridge Specifications
The writer, wishing to present a subject dealing with structural engineering as his thesis, and since nearly every other field in that line had already been thoroughly covered decided to investigate specifications for steel railroad bridges. Therefore, cooper's 1906 Specifications for Steel Railroad Bridges and Via ducts were chosen as a nucleus about which to base the discussion first, because they were very recent; second, because they were considered as standard; and third, because of the writer's famil iarity with them.
