What reading level is The Anatomy of Bridgework book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is seldom that the main flanges of girders show signs of weakness, unless from flexure in the case of long and narrow top members, insuflSciently stiffened ; but there may be want of truth from other causes already dealt with. In plate girders the webs should be most carefully scanned for possible cracks, particularly where cross-girders are connected, and along the upper edges of bottom flange angles, if the floor rest upon the flange. All riveted con- nections, of course, need close attent...ion, both for straining effects, where there is a liability to wracking, and to detect loose rivets. Loose rivets and want of tightness in other EXAMINATION, ETC. OF RIVETED BRIDGES. IO9 parts of the work may frequently be detected at sight by a reddish bloom which appears on the neighbouring surfaces, caused by rust working out and spreading under the effects of weather ; it may be seen round rivet-heads or along the edges of angle-bars, or other parts where there is movement.
Loose rivets, though generally to be detected also by the hammer, may perhaps in the case of thin-webbed cross- girders be working in the web-thickness only, possibly to a considerable extent.
