Bridges

Bridges are subject to daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Many old riveted railway bridges are replaced too soon due to a general lack of knowledge about the expected life span.

The book is about bridging the huge gaps between what engineers know, what they do and why things go wrong.

Few men have rightly earned the title of genius, but one must surely be Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

As the emphasis in construction moves from building new bridges to maintenance and rehabilitation of existing stock, bridge management is becoming an increasingly important subject.

Con el animo de contribuir a tener un enfoque integral sobre los problemas de socavacion que afectan puentes situados en cauces aluviales, se publico un primer libro titulado Socavacion en Puentes.

Los puentes son obras esenciales en la infraestructura vial destinadas a salvar obstáculos naturales -ríos, valles, lagos, cañones o brazos de mar- y artificiales -vías férreas y carreteras- para así unir caminos de viajeros y hacer posible el transporte de animales y mercancías.

Mejorar la calidad de vida de la poblacion colombiana implica indiscutiblemente que ello se lleve a cabo en gran parte de las zonas rurales, donde las condiciones en materia de vivienda e infraestructura de comunicacion estan aun por intervenir.
