Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides civil engineers with practical and precise formulas to lay out and calculate railroad curves, and also to determine the length of the curves and the proper positions for connecting turnouts and crossings, all based on the author's extensive experience. The author presents these procedures in the context of the broader history of surveying and mathematics, placing his work alongside that of the greats in the field. The book combines theory with practical, on-the-ground experience. Beyond the technical aspects, the book delves into geometry, angles, and chords, referencing tables and diagrams for easy understanding. With its insights into railroad engineering, this book is a valuable resource for civil engineers involved in railroad design and construction, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to design and implement efficient and safe rail systems.
