Abstract
The comparative economics of any two or more types of modern highway-bridge floors is presented in this paper. The method provides a means of answering questions of relative economy in a very few minutes, beyond the peradventure of doubt in regard to accuracy, either to-day or at any future time. The following information concerning each competing type must be known: The thickness of the flooring and its weight per square foot; the weight of metal per square foot of floor, between the stringers and the flooring with a stringer spacing of 5 ft, if there is any such special metal (or, otherwise, the extra weight of metal per square foot, in the floor system, due to a closer spacing of stringers); and the cost per square foot of flooring in place.
