What reading level is General Theory of Bridge Construction Containing Demonstrations of the Princip book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The supports consist entirely of systems of arch-braces, but the details were too complicated, and the execution evinced considerable timidity. It would seem, from an inspection of the plan, that the design had been conceived of spanning the whole interval at once, as there is a system of arch-braces ex tending from the abutments towards the centre ; but apprehen sive that such a long interval would cause the bridge to fail, two other systems of arch-braces were introduced, extending from the e...xtremities towards the centre of each span.
It would have been better, either to have spanned the wnole interval by one magnificent truss of 365 feet, which could have been constructed on the arch-brace principle, or else have em ployed two separate trusses, one for each interval.
A glance at the figure, which exhibits merely the general principle without attempting to represent the complicated de tails, will show that it was destitute of counter-bracing ; and Mr. Cox, a traveller in Switzerland, states that " a man of the slightest weight felt it almost tremble under him, yet wagons heavily laden passed over it without danger.
