The Structural Engineer, Volume 10, Issue 9, 1932
General Description. The new Tyne Bridge (now known as the Tyne Bridge) built by Messrs. Dorman, Long and Co., Ltd., of Middlesbrough, was opened by the King on Wednesday, October l0th, 1928. It is a road bridge connecting the town of Gateshead, in the county of Durham, to the ancient and busy city of Newcastle, in Northumberland, and spans the river Tyne by a single arch which carries the roadway. C.F. Mountney
TENSION members in a structure are of definite and known strength, if the grade of the steel be known. The strength in a test can be predicted with small error. Edward Godfrey
THE following notes and observations are intended to apply to such bridges as may be built by Local Authorities, designed by their engineer, and erected possibly by direct labour. It will later be evident that the subject has been viewed from the experience acquired principally in the past ten years in building fifty or sixty bridges and applies to spans up to and including about 120 ft.
