Mann's work on trestle bridges
Mann's work on trestle bridges focused on improving their structural stability and design efficiency. He studied how these bridges, composed of multiple supports (trestles) and a deck, could be optimized for strength and durability. By analyzing load distribution and material performance, Mann developed methods to enhance safety while reducing construction costs. His research contributed to better understanding of how to balance support placement and material use, leading to more reliable and economical trestle bridge designs suitable for various engineering needs.
