Railway Age Gazette 1915 Vol 89

Excerpt from Railway Age Gazette, 1915, Vol. 89: Including the American Engineer The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe has received from the Pullman Company 76 coaches and 49 chair cars of all-steel con struction, which were designed in the office of the engineer of car construction of the Santa Fe, and represent distinctly Santa Fe practices. The principal details are practically identical for both types of cars. The interior arrangement is the same, with the exception of the seats and an additional sink opposite the women's saloon in the chair cars, which is provided with hot and cold water and was installed for the convenience of women passengers traveling with children. The coaches will seat 83 passengers and the chair cars 76. The chair cars are used in the transcontinental service. Both types of cars measure 70 ft.

This comprehensive handbook covers all aspects of design, production, and construction of precast concrete tunnel segmental lining, with the best practices in the field included in one book for the first time. New and current design methods and quantitative analyses are considered in line with ACI and ASTM codes, as well as a full selection of global standards for the reliable design of the product and all components. Also incorporated are new applications of science and technology, such as new admixtures, and the latest manufacturing processes and precisions, such as tight dimensional controls and high repeatability cycles. With detailed guidance from world-leading practitioners, this is the definitive international technical and practical manual on these linings, forming a one-stop reference for tunnel engineers and an invaluable resource for advanced students in civil, mechanical, and mining engineering.
