Abstract
The design of the North Avenue Bridge (Chicago, Ill.) presented several major structural engineering problems. In developing a rigid-frame design, certain very critical structural assumptions were made which were believed to be quite valid but which lacked definite quantitative substantiating evidence. The importance of the structure justified a systematic extensometer investigation into the actual field-stress condition and structural behavior of the bridge in order to establish the relative validity of these basic assumptions.
