Text Appearing Before Image:
the horses were trotting wereseldom much greater than those measured under static load orwhen the horses were walking across the bridge. As far as thestresses are concerned, the speed at which the loads passed over 13 the bridge was net an influential factor. One conclusion to be drawn from the data is the valueof a concrete floor for highway bridges. In abort-spanbridges, in order to secure sufficient rigidity more steelhas to be used than would he required to carry the stresses.This extra amount of steel can he used to advantage to carrythe greater weight of a concrete floor over a wooden one. Oh this particular bridge, no earth cushion was placedupon the bridge floor. When the earth cushion is providedit has the effect of absorbing the shock incurred by thepounding of horses■ hoofs^ and assisting in the distributionof the load over a large area. It also protects the concretefrom the shocks and abrasion of traffic. An earth cushionshould have been used on the floor of this bridge.
