Howe Truss Train Trestle
Report
Our bridge was built in 1897 by the Phoenix Bridge Company in Phoenixville, PA and installed in Jefferson in 1907.
Howe truss is a type of bridge design that was introduced by an American architect William Howe.
It utilizes similar design such as Pratt truss, but with a strong difference.
Here the diagonal structural beams slope toward the bridge center, while Pratt truss utilizes diagonal beams that slope outward from the center of the bridge.
This approach makes diagonal members of Howe truss bridge in compression, while vertical web members are in tension.
