BRIDGES: The Science and Art of the World’s Most Inspiring Structures

The Brooklyn Bridge, London's Tower Bridge, San Francisco's Golden Gate--bridges can be breathtakingly monumental structures, magnificent works of art, and vital arteries that make life vastly easier. In Bridges, eminent structural engineer David Blockley takes readers on a fascinating guided tour of bridge construction, ranging from the primitive rope bridges (now mainly found in adventure movies), to Roman aqueducts and the timber trestle railway bridges of the American West, to today's modern marvels, such as the Akashi-Kaiky? Bridge, which has the largest span in the world. Blockley outlines the forces at work on a bridge--tension, compression, and shear--and the basic structural elements that combat these forces--beams, arches, trusses, and suspensions (or BATS). As he does so, he explores some of the great bridges around the world, including such lesser-known masterpieces as the Forth Railway Bridge (featured in Alfred Hitchcock's The Thirty-Nine Steps), and describes some spectacular failures, such as the recent bridge collapse in Minnesota or the famous failure of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940.

Bridging the Dutch Landscape : Design Guide for Bridges

Due to the major presence of water in the Dutch landscape, Holland is a country that boasts many bridges. ipv Delft, an industrial design bureau that has become the Netherlands' bridge specialist, has to its credit more than 240 bridges. In this design manual for bridges, they share their expertise by focusing on the design process and looking at affordable, clever bridges from an architectural and technical perspective. Each project features photos, construction drawings, materials, dimensions and budget/costs.

Composite Bridge Design for Small and Medium Spans

 

Size: 7.4 MB | Format: PDF | Year: 2002 | pages: 386

The research project was undertaken to develop and test new composite bridge concepts that are easily buildable by the bestpossible application of construction materials and a high grade of prefabrication. One of the problems was the use of hybrid girders which lead to significant material cost savings and to a reduction of girder heights. Therefore the fatigue rules given in ENV3 Part 2have been validated experimentally and by numerical studies with a special regard to the local yielding of the web.

A further investigation were the use of dismountable shear connectors and headed studs with a diameter of 25 mm which are not considered in the codes until now. Studs with a diameter of 25 mm are favourable for bridges due to their higher shear resistance. This test series has included static and dynamic Push-Out tests.

Studies on the behaviour of joints of composite bridges took the special behaviour of partial and full prefabricated slabs into account. Reference bridges have been used to design the test set-up and cycle loadings were applied to simulate moving traffic loads. The investigations were performed in order to verify the opening of the joints, the fatigue behavior.

Concrete Bridge Practice Analysis, Design And Economics

 

The second edition of this highly successful book is a complete reference on analysis, design and economics of concrete bridges. Meant for design engineers, contractors, their clients and field engineers, the book presents a practical and systematic methodology to enable quick and accurate design decisions. A step-by-step approach has been adopted throughout the text reflecting the order in which a practicing professional might proceed for designing a concrete bridge. The book contains more than 350 illustrations and photographs, tables and charts, and covers in detail topics such as: Structural analysis; Stability of foundations; Soil mechanics; Foundation design; Reinforced and Pre-stressed concrete design. The new edition has been considerably enhanced with additional chapters on: Estimating safe bearing capacity of soils for footings; Caissons and piles; Maintenance management system forhighway bridges; Bridges distress reporting-A workman-like approach. With its absolutely professional and non-academic approach to designing bridges, giving the shortest and optimal paths to design decisions, this book would be indispensable to all design engineers.

Study on High-rise Structure with Oblique Columns by ETABS, SAP2000, MIDAS/GEN and SATWE

 

Facing a large number of new-type complex structural system and progressively consummate earthquake-resistant theories, the conventional software can no longer meet the needs of calculation and analysis. Meanwhile, some international finite element programs, such as ETABS, SAP2000, MIDAS/gen and SATWE, were updating themselves but remained respective limitations. In this paper, response spectrum, time history and linking slab in-plan stresses analysis were executed combined with a practical project by these programs, which were also compared following the analysis results.
