he friction,/vnother benefit derived from the use of these struts is that the transverse force is then resistedbj boih the masonry pedestals under a bent to the greatest advantage. If the struts wereomitted the windward pedestal would have to resist more than half of the force, while at thesame… … Fig. 408. In some cases of low trestles it is sufificient to omit longitudinal diagonal bracing andsubstitute knee braces or brackets between the longitudinal girders and the columns. The longi-tudinal stiffness of such a structure is measured by the resistance of the columns to flexure in…
