In the Society Transactions for February, 1886, Vol. XV, page 85, Mr. George H. Pegram, M. Am. Soc. C. E., presented a set of empirical formulas which excited considerable discussion and interest. The object of the present paper is to present a series of rational formulas, which accommodate any specifications and design, and which not only give accurately the weight of iron for any given style, but also are of value in deciding the best depth and length of panel in any given case. We shall first give these formulas and illustrate their use and application, and afterwards give their demonstration, so that their basis and rational form may be clearly recognized.
