[Discussion on the Causes of Injury to Suspension Bridges].

Editorial

“…The continuity is striking. For example, the record of discussion on the dynamic impact of winds on the Menai Bridge (Provis, 1842) must have been read by Brunel when he, with others (Cowper et al, 1841), expressed thoughts on the subject (including those applied to the Clifton Bridge, then under construction, although not completed until after Brunel's death -that is another story). The influence of one discussion on another are not clarified through references.…”
