Abstract
As bridges of exceedingly long span are needed these days in a number of places, it has become necessary to use alloys of high elastic limit and great ultimate strength, in order to lessen materially the dead load to be carried. Up to the present time, nothing more satisfactory or effective than nickel steel has been found; and even that alloy has not been developed to the limit of its practical possibilities. This is due solely to a reluctance on the part of manufacturers of bridge metal to take any special pains in its production.
