Patents of Gustave EiffelSource: Journal of Structural Engineering:;1987:;Volume ( 113 ):;issue: 003DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9445(1987)113:3(546)Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For possibly the first time in the English language, the 24 patents that the writers have been able to discover that bear Eiffel's name are briefly described. They reflect chronologically the engineering interests of Eiffel, which include bridge launching, lighthouses, navigation under arch bridges, floor deflections, through‐deck railway bridges, joints for steel towers, prefabricated bridges, wash borings, the floating of an observatory's dome, positioning of bridge supports, the Eiffel tower's structural form, an incubator, falsework piers with adjustments, suspended railways, continuous roof trusses, slots for canal gates, concrete anchor blocks for arch roofs, the use of vertical members of trusses for window installation, a meteorological measuring instrument, a wind tunnel, and an aircraft configuration.
