Abstract
The paper is a report of dead-load-stress measurements made on several members of the East St. Louis Veterans Memorial Bridge. The purpose of the measurements was to study the actual stress distributions to be expected in the members of large bridges of modern design and construction. The work was performed while the bridge was under construction, during the summer of 1949 and the winter and fall of 1950.
