a Big Arch of Cement.

From an article in the Deutsche

notes on large arch OF Portland
cement concrete recently built,
which spans the Danube at Mum
derkingen, Wurtemberg. The arch
has a span l64 feet and a rise of l
to 10. 1t is the largest concrete
arch in Germany, and by its small
rise gives evidence of a boldness of
construction which surpasses other
concrete bridges, among which is
the Isera Bridge, span s. feet,
and rise l in 10; the Erbach bridge,
span lO5 feet, and rise in s, and
the Murthal bridge, span 131 feet,
and rise | in 10, The width of the
arch is al feet and the distance
between ratings is q ! feet.
One abutment consists of lime
stone, whereas tho other is formed
of l45 piles, driven into the ground.
