- 138 VIVIAN PERCENTAGE ON ELONGATION OF STEEL. 2. In built-up areas viaducts and retaining walls soon come into the picture and if a use can be found for the viaduct, say a5 a garage, it is reasonable for heightsas low as 12 feet. 3. Except in specialcircumstances of foundations or requirements, viaduct spans of 50 feet are the most economical over land or water. 4. Over landpre-castandin-situconstruction areabout equal in cost, but present conditions of material supply may favour the former. 5. Over water or where temporary staging is difficult-as over railways -pre-cast construction is defhitely more economical than in-situ construction for spans upt o 80 feet...
