Some Experiments on Bridges Under Moving Train Loads
While all engineers are agreed that some extra allowance must be made for live loads, yet there exists the widest difference of opinion as to how much this allowance should be and how it should be distributed among the different members of the bridge. It is certainly logical that if both fatigue and impact exist, both should be provided for, although, perhaps, by a single formula; but before such a formula can be determined the two effects must be considered separately. Considerable agreement has been reached in the matter of fatigue formulas, but, owing to the lack of reliable data, impact formulas are, at the present time, largely a matter of guess work.
