Variability of the Mechanical Properties of Wrought Iron from Historic American Truss Bridges

The mechanical properties of wrought iron from multiple elements of six late 19th-century truss bridges is evaluated by a program of destructive and nondestructive testing, including hardness testing and tension tests to evaluate the yield stress (Fy), tensile strength (Fu), and ductility of the material. The yield stress and tensile strengths are found to be in accordance with those published ...

Travel bans will increase the damage wrought by ebola.

Cases of Ebola that have turned up in Dallas and New York City have prompted calls for a travel ban to prohibit travelers from Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea from entering the US during the ongoing Ebola outbreak. But travel bans have not worked in past epidemics and will not stop Ebola from spreading. Banning travel would slow the movement of people and goods to those countries, harm the in...
