This book deals with the period when iron became the dominant
'high-technology' material, increasingly taking over from timber
and masonry. It was necessary for the engines and machines of the
new industries, but equally vital for the vast civil engineering
works which supported this industrialisation. It was these works -
mills, warehouses, dockyards, and above all bridges - which so
impressed the public in the early 19th century. The papers selected
here trace the evolving structural uses of cast and wrought iron in
frames and roofs for buildings, and look in particular at the
development of bridge design and construction, in America, France,
and Russia, as well as in Britain. They cover the processes of
design and testing, and at the same time throw much light on the
attitudes and careers of the engineers themselves.
