County  of  Brant.  This  illustration  shows  what  we  believe  to  be  the  longest  continuous  concrete 
floor  on  any  highway  bridge  in  Canada.  The  use  of  concrete  doors  is  now  almost  universal,  and  we 
strongly  recomnietui  every  municipality  to  have  their  bridges  built  so  that  concrete  floors  may 
be  used  at  the  time»the  bridge  is  ere^ed,  or  soarrang^  that  concrete  floors  may  be  put  on  any  time  in  the 
future.,  It  is  a  great  mistake  to  build*bridges- of  stich  light  capacity  that  timber  floors  must  be  n.sied  forever, 
or  sucl^  bridges'will  retjuire  to  be  reinforcetl  or  taken  down  altogether  There  are  several  very  goo<l 
specifications  for  concr.ete  floors,  and  ii)  particular  the  Ontario  Ciovernment  sp^ification  is  reconuuended  for 
your  consii^eratron.  It  has  also  becoliie  the  custom  of  many  municipalities  iW  cjilliug  for  tenders  for  high 
,way  bridges  to  make  it  a  part  of  the  agreement  that  the  Bridge  Copipany  shall  put  on  tlie  concrete  floor.  We 
consider  this  a  mistake  for  tlie  reason  that  most  bridge  companies'  workmen  know  little  regardiug  concrete,  and  ' 
are  not  familiar  wfth  the  handling  of  same,  and  it  would  bewise  to  make  a  sef>arate  contract  for  floors,  and  pre- 
ferably the  man  who  takes  contract  for  the  .sub  structure  should  also  take  the  contract  for  the  concrete 
floor.  We  believe  that  you  couW  get  concrete  floors  cheaper  if  built  by  the  man  who  builds  the  sub-structure 
for  the  reason  that  he  wiyj^havealiof  his 'material  there  and  plant  for  handling'  same,  and  also  having  ex- 
perienced men  he  should  certainly  be  able  fb  do  a  better  job  for  less  money  and  in  less  time  than  the 
inexperiencetl  men  of  the  Bridge  Company.  The  cost 'of  6"  reinforced  concrete  floors  varies  from  25  cents 
to  40  cents  per  square  fodt  jiccording  to  locatidn  of  bridge  site,  t       '»     '  -

Swing  Bridges 

THE  reqiiirenieiits  for  Swing  Bridges  are  not  very,  sreat  in  Canada, 
lieing  confined  principally  to  the  various  canals  in  difTef^it  parts 
of  the  country.  Occasionally,  however,  it  is  necessary  for  a  city 
or  rural  municipality  to  build  a  Swing  Bridge,  and  as  almost  every  case 
requires  a  peculiar  design  ofjits  own,  it  is  rather  difficult  to  illustrate  so 
many  different  types,  but  those  shown  on  the  following  pages  will 
prolMbly  be  of  interest.

Z^'''  '^^^^  lattice  span  was  etrected  on  falsework  as  shown,  and 

the  iliedond  span  wan  erectedTM  a  cantilever,  also  as  shown.  This  work  wajt 
erected  under  very  great  difficulties  by  reason  of  the  intense  cpld  and  the  heavy 
and  frequent  falls  of  snow  :.  and  owing  to  the  limited  time  allowed  in  which  to 
complete  the  wwrk,  it  wa.<^  necessary  to  have  dax  and  night  forces  for  .seTrrai> 
weeks,  and  the. bridge  was  completed  within  a  few  hours  of  the  necessary  time 
to  enable,  th*  Railway  t^jmpany  to  earn  the  subsidy  which  Iwl  been  voted  fo* 
the  line  under  certain  conditions.  This  bridge  is  one.of  sev^  bridges  erected 
by  u.s  on  tlie  same  line,  one  of  which  was  at  l;es  Cres  Crossing,  consisting  of 
seven  fiof  deck  lattice  spans,  one  '.'(Ki'  through  pin  connected  span  aixi  two  uo' 
riveted  through  spans  Another  interesting  bridge  erected  by  us  on  this  railway 
was  a  I  jo'  through  plate  girder  span,  which  is  firpbably  one  of  thtlargest  spans 
of  this  kind  eyer  built  in  Canada.

of  the  river  breaking  up  early  in  the  spring,  it  was  necessary  to  make  the  quickest  possible  progress  on  this  work.  The  .span

'   *  Girdere 


TH  !•:  two  cuts  shoAjrn  on  the  oppoMte  page  illustrate  beam  girders  of  which 
a  great  many  are  used  for  various  purposes.  In  remodeUing  the  fronts 
of  old  buildings  an<ian  arranging  the  fronis  of  new  buildings,  it  is  found 
necessarx  to  use  steel  girders  to  support  the  britk  work  above.  The  use  of 
such  girders  enables  a  large  clear  opening  to  be  i(r4)%'ided,  which  would  permit 
of  subsequent  alterations  to  the  front  of  huildinW.  without  interference  with 
the  builduig  proper.  The  illustrations  show  girdtrs  consisting  of  two  beams" 
which  "IS  usually  found  sufficient,  the  size  and  Weight  of  the  bekms  being 
governed  by  the  leflgth  of  span  and  the  loads  to  be  carrietl.  The  upper 
illustration  show*  a  bfeam  girder  in  place. 

.  In  the  fronts  of.ordinary  store  buildings  it  is  usual  to  have  a  clear  open 
•space,  but  if  necessary  columns  can  be  provided  at  the  ends  and  any  number 
of  columns  can  be  provided  at  intermediate  points,  in  fact  the  girders  can 
be  designed  and  arranged  to  suit  the  conditions  tiiat  exist  and  to  meet  the 
viewsx)f  the  proprietor  or  contractors  having  the  work  in  hand. 

On  page  No.  135  will  be  fouml  illu.stratioiis  showing  cross  .sections  of  .simi- 
lar iK-aui  girders  consisting  of  two  and  three'  beams.
