Bridge Engineering Handbook


Bridge Engineering Handbook
1999 | PDF | 2020 pages | 132 MB

An international team of experts has joined forces to produce the Bridge Engineering Handbook. They address all facets-the planning, design, inspection, construction, and maintenance of a variety of bridge structures-creating a must-have resource for every bridge engineer. 

This unique, comprehensive reference provides the means to review standard practices and keep abreast of new developments and state-of-the-art practices. Comprising 67 chapters in seven sections, the authors present:

Fundamentals: Provides the basic concepts and theory of bridge engineeringSuperstructure Design: Discusses all types of bridges
Substructure Design: Addresses columns, piers, abutments, and foundations
Seismic Design: Presents the latest in seismic bridge design
Construction and Maintenance: Focuses on the practical issues of bridge structures
Special Topics: Offers new and important information and unique solutions
Worldwide Practice: Summarizes bridge engineering practices around the world.

Discover virtually all you need to know about any type of bridge:Reinforced, Segmental, and Prestressed ConcreteSteel beam and plate girderSteel box girderOrthotropic deckHorizontally curvedTrussArchSuspensionCable-stayedTimberMovableFloatingRailroadSpecial attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance, and the Bridge Engineering Handbook offers over 1,600 tables, charts, and illustrations in ready-to-use format. An abundance of worked-out examples give readers step-by-step design procedures and the section on Worldwide Practice provides a broad and valuable perspective on the "big picture" of bridge engineering.

Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design


Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design
 1984 | 410 pages | PDF | 25 MB

Cable supported bridges in the form of suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges are distinguished by their ability to overcome large spans. 

This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges covering both design and construction aspects. The analytical part covers simple methods to quantify the different structural forms and allows a preliminary optimization of the main structure. 

Completely revised and updated, this second edition is justified by an accelerated pace of innovation within this field of bridge technology. It includes the latest advancements in wind tunnel testing and results of computer analyses. Numerous halftones and figures supplement the text.

Bridges: The science and art of the world's most inspiring structures


Bridges: 
The science and art of the world's most inspiring structures
288 pages | PDF | 2,6 mb

Bridges vault valleys and leap rivers, but how? 

British civil-engineering professor Blockley answers in this “attempt to help nontechnical readers understand the technical issues bridge builders have to face.” 

Emanating from the engineer’s abiding anxiety to ensure against structural failure, such issues are successfully clarified in the author’s engaging presentation. 

Essentially, the bridge engineer calculates the physical forces acting on the materials and shapes used to construct a bridge, but, as Blockley iterates throughout, engineering knowledge about how a bridge will perform has finite or indeterminable dimensions.

 The bridge collapses he describes were typically caused by some previously unrecognized behavior, and the collection of behaviors learned through bridge-building experience infuses Blockley’s arrangement of bridges into four classifications—beams, arches, trusses, and suspensions.

 If we cross bridges unmindful of the forces they tame, Blockley’s text, sketches, simple equations, and photographs instill appreciation for a physical dynamism that the engineer aspires to control. 

Also discussing the architectural beauty of bridges, this is a model explanation of technological design for a general audience. --Gilbert Taylor


Design of Pile Foundations in Liquefiable Soils


Design of Pile Foundations in Liquefiable Soils
PDF | 232 pages | 6.8 MB

Pile foundations are the most common form of deep foundations that used both onshore and offshore to transfer large superstructure loads into competent soil strata. 

This book provides many case histories of failure of pile foundations due to earthquake loading and soil liquefaction. Based on the observed case histories, the possible mechanisms of failure of the pile foundations are postulated. 

The book also deals with the additional loading attracted by piles in liquefiable soils due to lateral spreading of sloping ground. Recent research at Cambridge forms the backbone of this book with the design methodologies being developed directly based on quantified centrifuge test results and numerical analysis. 

The book provides designers and practicing civil engineers with a sound knowledge of pile behaviour in liquefiable soils and easy-to-use methods to design pile foundations in seismic regions. 

For graduate students and researchers, it brings together the latest research findings on pile foundations in a way that is relevant to geotechnical practice.

Experiment and Calculation of Reinforced Concrete at Elevated Temperatures


Experiment and Calculation of Reinforced Concrete at Elevated Temperatures
336 pages | PDF | 15,3 MB

Concrete as a construction material goes through both physical and chemical changes under extreme elevated temperatures. As one of the most widely used building materials, it is important that both engineers and architects are able to understand and predict its behavior in under extreme heat conditions. Brief and readable, this book provides the tools and techniques to properly analysis the effects of high temperature of reinforced concrete which will lead to more stable, safer structures.
