QR code
"Design of a Steel Railroad Warehouse" by Louis Liston Tallyn is a thesis submitted for a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, written in the early 20th century. This academic publication focuses on the practical design considerations for a steel warehouse intended for railroad use, specifically for the Illinois Central Railroad in New Orleans. It addresses the shift from traditional wooden warehouses to steel structures, making a case for the benefits
of using steel in terms of safety, economics, and resilience. The book outlines a detailed design for a 600-foot long steel railroad warehouse, considering structural elements such as columns, girders, trusses, and foundations. Tallyn discusses factors affecting load-bearing capacities, materials selection, and warehouse dimensions, while incorporating lessons from existing warehouse designs. The thesis culminates in comprehensive analyses of the proposed structure's necessary specifications to ensure functionality, safety, and durability, ultimately advocating for increased adoption of steel in railroad warehouse construction.
