Concerning the Investigation of Overloaded Bridges
For some years a large part of the writer’s professional work has been the investigation of existing bridges which are subjected to loads greater than those for which they were originally designed; and, in the course of this work, he has found, among bridge engineers, such a divergence of views regarding the maximum unit stresses, etc., which may be safely allowed in an existing structure, that he takes this opportunity of bringing the matter before the Society for discussion, in the hope that thereby greater uniformity of opinion may be established. The rapid development of electric traction lines, both urban and interurban, many of which are built upon highways, has had the effect of overloading many highway bridges.
