Movable Bridge

"Movable Bridge," Volume 2, is a comprehensive technical treatise authored by Otis Ellis Hovey, a distinguished civil engineer. This volume serves as an authoritative exploration into the design, mechanics, and structural requirements of various types of movable bridges, including bascule, vertical-lift, and swing spans. Hovey provides meticulous detail on the machinery, power requirements, and engineering principles necessary for the successful construction and operation of these complex transportation structures.As a seminal work in the field of civil engineering from the early 20th century, this text provides essential reference material for understanding the historical development of modern infrastructure. It covers the intricate calculations and mechanical designs that defined bridge construction during a period of significant industrial advancement. The work is tailored for professional engineers and students of structural design, offering deep insights into the structural integrity and mechanical efficiency of movable spans. "Movable Bridge" remains an invaluable historical resource for those interested in the evolution of engineering practices and the specialized technology required for navigating waterways and railways.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
