Download or read book Cable Supported Bridges written by Niels J. Gimsing and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen years on from its last edition, Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design, Third Edition, has been significantly updated with new material and brand new imagery throughout. Since the appearance of the second edition, the focus on the dynamic response of cable supported bridges has increased, and this development is recognised with two new chapters, covering bridge aerodynamics and other dynamic topics such as pedestrian-induced vibrations and bridge monitoring. This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges, suspension as well as cable stayed, covering both design and construction aspects. The emphasis is on the conceptual design phase where the main features of the bridge will be determined. Based on comparative analyses with relatively simple mathematical expressions, the different structural forms are quantified and preliminary optimization demonstrated. This provides a first estimate on dimensions of the main load carrying elements to give in an initial input for mathematical computer models used in the detailed design phase. Key features: Describes evolution and trends within the design and construction of cable supported bridges Describes the response of structures to dynamic actions that have attracted growing attention in recent years Highlights features of the different structural components and their interaction in the entire structural system Presents simple mathematical expressions to give a first estimate on dimensions of the load carrying elements to be used in an initial computer input This comprehensive coverage of the design and construction of cable supported bridges provides an invaluable, tried and tested resource for academics and engineers.

Book excerpt: The major expansion of transport networks in the twentieth century has been accompanied by extensive bridge construction. At the end of the century, the field of bridge engineering continues to grow and develop. Recent years have seen the construction of revolutionary new bridges, advances in materials and construction techniques and the development of international codes and standards aimed at producing more durable and reliable structures.
Download or read book Building a Small Cable Suspension Bridge written by Marvin Denmark and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marvin Denmark, a builder and craftsman with 45+ years of experience, demonstrates the process he used to design and construct a small cable suspension bridge. This book includes some suspension bridge history along with engineering considerations, then explains and illustrates with diagrams and full-color photos the step by step process that was used to complete the project. His blog, wildcatman.wordpress.com, has excerpts from the book, a new cable locking system design, and a recent price list for parts for his bridge. A trailer for the cable locking system including video of the bridge building process is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLXrzC9K5wQ Anyone who is looking for ideas for a footbridge that is relatively easy to build without the use of heavy equipment or difficult to replace components may benefit from the design in this book and by using the patented "cable locking system."

Download or read book Cable Stayed Bridges written by Holger Svensson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for large-scale bridges is constantly growing due to the enormous infrastructure development around the world. Since the 1970s many of them have been cable-stayed bridges. In 1975 the largest span length was 404 m, in 1995 it increased to 856 m, and today it is 1104 m. Thus the economically efficient range of cable-stayed bridges is tending to move towards even larger spans, and cable-stayed bridges are increasingly the focus of interest worldwide. This book describes the fundamentals of design analysis, fabrication and construction, in which the author refers to 250 built examples to illustrate all aspects. International or national codes and technical regulations are referred to only as examples, such as bridges that were designed to German DIN, Eurocode, AASHTO, British Standards. The chapters on cables and erection are a major focus of this work as they represent the most important difference from other types of bridges. The examples were chosen from the bridges in which the author was personally involved, or where the consulting engineers, Leonhardt, Andrä and Partners (LAP), participated significantly. Other bridges are included for their special structural characteristics or their record span lengths. The most important design engineers are also presented. Note: The lecture videos which are attached to the print book on DVD are not part of the e-book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Primer for the Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Cables written by M. Myint Lwin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivation for the development of the "Primer for the Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Cables" is to provide a practical supplement to the NCHRP Report 534, "Guidelines for Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Parallel Wire Cables," and the FHWA "Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation's Bridges." This Primer serves as an initial resource for planning and performing inspection, metallurgical testing, and strength evaluation of suspension bridge cables. This Primer also provides an example of a simplified strength evaluation, flowcharts illustrating the inspection and strength evaluation procedures, and inspection and strength evaluation forms that can be used, or replicated, by inspectors and engineers.
