State-of-the-Art Bridge and Highway Rehabilitation and Repair MethodsThis authoritative volume offers up-to-date guidance on the latest design techniques, repair methods, specialized software, materials, and advanced maintenance procedures for bridges and highway structures.

Dan Cruickshank's personal, passionate and learned journey into the very awe-inspiring architectural icons which have transformed culture, society, industry and landscapes throughout the world - bridges.

Railroad bridges are a critical component of the infrastructure and economy of many countries, and many of these bridges are nearing the end of their useful service life.

Petroski reveals the science and engineering--not to mention the politics, egotism, and sheer magic--behind America''s great bridges, particularly those constructed during the great bridge-building era starting in the 1870s and continuing through the 1930s.

The dynamic behaviour of bridges strongly affects the infrastructure system of high-speed railways, and is a crucial factor in safety issues and passenger comfort.

The construction of high-speed railways includes a wide variety of aspects, ranging from safety to new types of equipment and construction solutions.

Since the 1980s in Europe high-speed rail has emerged rapidly as a means of transportation, and in the upcoming years many more tunnel, bridge and other infrastructure projects will be developed across the continent.

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

The interaction phenomenon is very common between different components of a mechanical system.

Long span suspension bridges cost billions.

Seismic Rehabilitation Methods for Existing Buildings covers various structures, effective parameters in seismic improvement, and other factors in seismic loading in eight applied chapters with descriptive classification.

Due to significant economic growth in the last few decades, increasing traffic loadsimpose tremendous demand on bridge structures.

Medieval bridges are startling achievements of design and engineering comparable with the great cathedrals of the period, and are also proof of the great importance of road transport in the middle ages and of the size and sophistication of the medieval economy.

Seismic Rehabilitation Methods for Existing Buildings covers various structures, effective parameters in seismic improvement, and other factors in seismic loading in eight applied chapters with descriptive classification.

As known, each bridge presents a unique set of design, construction, and maintenance challenges.

In recent years, bridge engineers and researchers are increasingly turning to the finite element method for the design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges.

Methods of controlling mass concrete temperatures range from relatively simple to complex and from inexpensive too costly.

The traveling public has no patience for prolonged, high cost construction projects.

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.

This book covers the basics of fabrication of railway steel structures.

Effective maintenance of bridge structures comprises a broad spectrum of plans for repairs and services implemented to enable bridges to perform their intended function.
