Download or read book Guidelines for Historic Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement written by Mary Elizabeth McCahon and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2008 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a literature search, findings of a survey on the current state of historic bridge rehabilitation or replacement decision making by state and local transportation agencies, and nationally applicable decision-making guidelines for historic bridges. The guidelines are intended to be used as the protocol for defining when rehabilitation of historic bridges can be considered prudent and feasible and when it is not based on engineering and environmental data and judgments. The guidelines include identification of various approaches to bringing historic bridges into conformance with current design and safety guidelines/standards, and the effect or implications of remedial action on historical significance. There are currently no such nationally applicable decision-making guidelines, but there are a variety of state and local processes and policies for managing historic bridges. Effective practices for the various processes inform the nationally applicable guidelines. The guidelines are in narrative and matrix format.

Download or read book Nondestructive Techniques for the Assessment and Preservation of Historic Structures written by Luisa Maria da Silva Gonçalves and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies play an increasingly important role in the analysis, monitoring, restoration, and preservation of historic structures. These technological systems continue to get more advanced and complex, for example: 3D digital construction and documentation programming, 3D imaging data (including laser scanning and photogrammetry), multispectral and thermographic imaging, geophysical data, etc. This book will present the latest nondestructive technologies used in the characterization, preservation, and structural health monitoring of historic buildings. It will include numerous case studies, as well as theoretical explanations about each of the methods and technologies used in each.
Download or read book Structural Analysis of Historic Buildings written by J. Stanley Rabun and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-02-21 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mit Hilfe der Statikanalyse wird der Zustand der Bausubstanz und Konstruktionssysteme eines Bauwerkes untersucht. Wenn Probleme am Bauwerk entstehen, führen Statiker eine solche Analyse durch, um die am besten geeigneten Korrekturmöglichkeiten zu bestimmen. Auch Architekten müssen über Grundkenntnisse in der Baustatik verfügen, um Gebäude entwerfen zu können, die ihre Funktion optimal erfüllen und um mit anderen Kollegen des Bauteams effektiv zusammenzuarbeiten. Außerdem müssen Architekten in der Lage sein, selbst eine Statikanalyse durchzuführen, wenn sie ein vorhandenes Gebäude umbauen wollen. Dieses Buch ist ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk für jeden, der historische Bauten umbauen und verändern will. Es ist darüber hinaus ein nützlicher Leitfaden zu technischen Daten und Berechnungsmethoden, die den Architekten und Statikern damals zur Verfügung standen, als das Baumaterial oder Konstruktionssystem eingesetzt wurde. Mit einer Fülle praktischer Informationen bietet es die Grundlage für moderne Zertifizierung durch den Experten.
