Revision of the Niagara railway arch bridge
Revision comprised investigation of live loads for railway bridges in order to determine probable maximum loading for such bridge, which is double-track, two-hinged, 550ft. arch. Series of strain-gage readings, methods of which are fully described, was made. Dead-load stresses were investigated by jacking apart one top chord of arch span by means of special toggle, center top chord dead-load stress being read with strain gage. New Fuller-West strain gage, developed as result of investigations, is described.
