Today I put in an order for some books on my topic, some of which are quite general and some of which are very specific (written by university professeurs...). I am hoping that this will be usefull and will allow me to decide which specific aspects of girder bridge design I would like to test and help me formulate my hypothesis. I also plan to go to a toy shop soon and order some specific parts of meccano so that I may begin to get a feel of what will be possible with this construction medium.
The books I ordered are:
- The strains upon bridge girders and roof trusses: including the warren, lattice, trellis, boqstring and other forms of girders, the curved roof and simple compound trusses - T.Cargill
- Invention by design: how engineersget from thought to thing
- Structures: or why things don't fall down
- An introduction to the design of beams, girders, and columns in machines and structures with example
what are the names of the books? Pop in the links to amazon :)
