What reading level is Bridge Disasters in America the Cause And the Remedy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Per square inch, or 3, 000 Ibs. More than the elastic limit. The fracture of the tested rods, which it is stated broke with a single blow of the ham- mer very much in the manner of cast-iron, show a very in- ferior quality of material. The rods broke in the bridge ex- actly where we should look for the failure, viz. In the screw, at the end. No ordinary inspection would have de- tected this weakness. No inspection did detect it; but a proper specification, faithfully carried out, would have pre...- vented the disaster.
Look now at an extract from the specification for bridges upon the Cincinnati Southern Railway : " A1J parts of the bridges and trestle-works must be pro- portioned to sustain the passage of the following rolling load, at a speed of not less than 30 miles an hour, viz. : two locomotives, coupled, each weighing 36 tons on the drivers in a space of 12 feet, the total weight of each engine and tender loaded being 66 tons in a space of 50 feet, and fol- lowed by loaded cars weighing 20 tons each in a space of 22 feet.
