Abstract
It is the object of this paper to bring out several important features in some concrete bridges recently designed by the senior writer. Reinforced concrete is now being used in the construction of bridges of all three types: arch, girder, and truss; in fact, there is a bridge across the Seine at Avranches, France, which combines all three types: an arch span of 110 ft., two girder spans of 34 ft. each, and a truss span of 100 ft. There are two girder bridges near Pittsburgh, Pa., one of 75, and the other of 67 ft. span. In Nashville, Tenn., there is a railroad bridge which has two 95-ft. spans, consisting of reinforced concrete bowstring trusses.
