Description of A Combined Triangular and Suspension Bridge Truss, and Comparison of its Cost with that of the Warren, Pratt, Whipple and Howe Trusses
The figures, Plate XXX, Class A, from 1 to 15, inclusive, represent side elevations of bridge trusses containing from six to twenty panels. They can be used for iron, steel or combination bridges. (By combination bridge, is meant one in which the top chord, end braces, vertical posts, top lateral struts, and track stringers are wood; all tension members iron; and the intermediate inclined struts and floor beams either wood or iron.) The truss admits of a great variety and choice of figures, but the examples given are, in general, economic and good selections. The most economic form is, however, governed to a considerable extent by the length of span and the material used.
