Art. 7. Diagonals. In order to make a bridge rigid it is necessary to havediagonals in each panel. These are designed to taketension in some bridges and compression in others. The diagnolsnear the centre of the bridge are called on to take a reversal ofstresses due to the total shear changing from positive to neg-ative or vis-a-versa. To prevent this reversal a counter isplaced in the bridge. This counter consists of another diagonalplaced in the opposite direction from the main diagnals. In themiddle panel and the panels adjacent to it there are usuallycounters, -37- The sections used for the counters or diagonals aresimilar to those used for verticals. The two common forms beingthe two-channels-and lattice-bars section and the section com-posed
