Vibration, or the Effect of Passing Trains on Iron Bridges, Masonry and Other Structures
Having been for some time observing the effect of passing trains on iron bridges, I have decided to commit to paper certain views originating from such observations and submit them to criticism, in order that their truth or error may be elucidated. I suppose all have noticed that cattle stops and open culverts under railroad tracks, where built of rubble-work, soon have their walls shaken to pieces by the vibrations produced by passing trains. To avoid this, I have been building such structures as bridge masonry with large, heavy stone. Our double-track bridges are moved in the direction of passing trains, consequently are twisted and a strain produced on some of the members which has not been provided for.
