MEASURING METHODS IN BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION ON THE GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAYS

All quantities of importance in the measurement of bridge structures are defined and, where necessary, illustrated mathematically. Exact knowledge of these gives the engineer a full insight into the static and dynamic behavior of a structure, influence of shrinkage stresses on the reliability of a structure, actual load-carrying capacity of a super-structure, slippage in the fasteners. Modern measuring methods make use of a wide range of instruments. The various mechanical and electrical methods are described in detail, and the merits and drawbacks of each group are compared.
