No discussion of reversed curves is given, because these are inconsistent with good practice, except in turnouts, under which head they are noticed.

Excerpt from Field Engineering: A Handbook of the Theory and Practice of Railway Surveying, Location, and Construction
Although the modern railway system is but about fifty years old, yet its growth has been so rapid, and the progress in the science of railway construction so great, as to render the earlier technical books on this subject inadequate to the needs of the engineer of to-day.
In the course of his practical experience as a railway engi neer, the author was strongly impressed with the' want of a more complete hand-book for field use, and finally concluded, at the solicitation of his friends, to undertake the preparation of the present volume.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the theory of maximum economy in grades and curves as a complete whole. It brings together in one volume the results of extensive experience and investigation on the part of the author and the practices of leading railroad companies. The author begins with an examination of the problem of balancing the forces that resist the movement of a train, and then derives the formula of maximum train movement and the formula for the most economical rate of grade. From this follows an investigation of the relation between grade and curvature, with a view to the production of the most economical line. The question of grade lines is treated at length, as is the establishment of vertical curves. The book concludes with a discussion of the calculation of earthwork and the methods of minimizing the cost of excavation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332863808_0
