X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Although there are few surviving examples 
 in Maryland\, covered bridges were common in the Northeast\, Middle Atlant
 ic\, and upper Midwest states during the 19th century. The roofs and walls
  hide variability in bridge truss design. Those designs solved a number of
  engineering problems\, but they also represent commercial ventures. Ithie
 l Towne\, Theodore Burr\, and lesser-known bridge builders patented and ma
 rketed their designs. Why was a particular design picked for a specific si
 tuation? Best engineering solution or successful marketing or both? This i
 llustrated talk introduces design principles in bridge construction and pr
 esents examples from Maryland and neighboring states.</p>\n<p>Please regis
