Download or read book Covered Bridges of Alabama written by Wil Elrick and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With fewer than a thousand remaining in the United States, the covered bridges of Alabama are an important relic of the paths our ancestors took. Alabama's covered bridges are reminiscent of a more romantic time, when people rode in horse-drawn buggies and couples stole kisses beneath their roofs. But they are also keepers of history - structures built by former slaves and Civil War soldiers. Such places are steeped in legend, including tales of ghostly children and the hanging of a sheriff turned outlaw. Just eleven historic covered bridges survive in Alabama - the oldest dating to the 1850s - but dozens of more recently constructed spans dot the landscape. Wil Elrick and Kelly Kazek provide photos and detailed information on more than fifty Alabama bridges, reveal the fate of the state's lost bridges and delve into the haunting legends surrounding these nostalgic structures.
Download or read book Guidelines to Restoring Structural Integrity of Covered Bridge Members written by Ronald W. Anthony and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines are designed for decision makers (selection, country commissioners, city planners, preservation officers, contractors, rehabilitation engineers, etc.) to understand the components that are used to make effective decisions about how and when to repair a covered bridge, such as structural integrity, engineering analyses, condition assessments, how to support the bridge during repairs, and more. There are numerous types of covered bridges and ensuring public safety during repairs is a paramount issue for future generations to enjoy.

Download or read book New York State s Covered Bridges written by Bob and Trish Kane and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time, New York State had over 300 covered bridges, but over the years, floods, fires, and modernization have claimed all but 32 of them. Both the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge and the Old Blenheim Bridge are proud record holders. Located in Glimmerglass State Park, the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge is the oldest existing covered bridge in the United States. The Old Blenheim Bridge was the longest single-span covered bridge in the world until it was washed away by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 when the Schoharie Creek flooded. Today, Oxford, New York, is home to the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Resource Center, which was specifically designed for covered bridge researchers--the first-ever center of its kind.

Download or read book Species Identification and Design Value Estimation of Wooden Members in Covered Bridges written by Alex C. Wiedenhoeft and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covered timber bridges are historic structures with unique aesthetic value. To preserve this value and maintain bridges in service, robust evaluation of their performance and safety is necessary. The strength of the timber found in covered bridges can vary considerably, not only because of age and condition, but also because of species and grade. For the practicing engineer or inspector evaluating a covered bridge, design values for existing wood members must be determined with as much accuracy as possible by account-ing for bridge-specific conditions. The current practice is to assign wood values for strength and moduli from existing specifications without specific reference to timber species, condition, or grade, which can result in an inaccurate assess-ment of the structure. This manual provides a walk-through for basic wood identification, inspection, condition assess-ment, field grading, and design value estimation for wood in covered bridges.

Download or read book Guidelines for the Design of Footbridges written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention of fib Bulletin 32 is to present guidelines for the design of footbridges as well as bridges accommodating cyclists and bridleways (equestrian paths). The need for these guidelines comes from the fact that structural engineers designing footbridges currently have to spend considerable time and energy collecting information from numerous documents, codes and recommendations to make design decisions. There seems to be no international document dedicated solely to the design of footbridges. These guidelines attempt to provide a concentrated source of information regarding all design issues specific to footbridges. It is meant to be a 'liberal' document in the sense that it promotes new, innovative and bold yet prudent designs by sharing the experience of the authors, summarizing specifications given in codes, and presenting a collection of examples of well-designed structures or structural details from around the world. It is not intended to be an international code that specifies limits and admissible values, thus encouraging timid, conservative designs that are repetitions of approved and tested designs. Indeed, it may be the very fact that no international code exists specifically for footbridges that encourages the wide variety of footbridge designs found today. It should be noted that numerous guidelines, codes and books have been published on bridge design in general. Information given in those publications that is also applicable to footbridges is not repeated in Bulletin 32. The chapters of these guidelines all follow the same pattern: an introduction to the subject, general guidelines as well as do's and don'ts; a summary of information found in existing international codes, recommendations, experience of the authors, and built examples with comparison and comments on this information; examples. Plenty of illustrations and photographs help to visualize the themes of this work. The last chapter, 'Case Studies', contains footbridges each with a short summary of main structural data and references for further reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oregon Covered Bridges is one such project. For my wife and I we just took day trips and visited covered bridges in our area, soon it grew and became a journey. It started in October 2004 visiting the coverered bridgs of Cottage Grove and ended with a visit to Cedar Crossing in February2007. The project turn to this book, a quick view of the bridges, the history, facts of covered bridges. Many people leave their state to take a vacation, never really seeing where they live, this book is a reminder that we here in Oregon have a lot and should be seen. It is also a chance to bring visitors to our state, to see these covered bridges. There on the backroads and these roads really show off Oregon. It is a Coffee Table book, pick up and enjoy the pictures, the reading is light. Need to Stop and Smell the Roses, take a break from this fast pace life, this is what this book was meant to do.
