Download or read book Of Bridges written by Thomas Harrison and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Always," wrote Philip Larkin, "it is by bridges that we live." Bridges represent our aspirations to connect, to soar across divides. And it is the unfinished business of these aspirations that makes bridges such stirring sights, especially when they are marvels of ingenuity. A rich compendium of myths, superstitions, literary and ideological figurations, as well as architectural and musical illustrations, Of Bridges organizes a poetic and philosophical history of bridges into nine thematic clusters. Leaping in lucid prose between seemingly unrelated times and places, Thomas Harrison gives a panoramic account of the diverse meanings and valences of human bridges, questioning why they are built and where they lead. He investigates bridges as flashpoints in war and the mega-bridges of our globalized world. He probes links forged by religion between life's transience and eternity and the consolidating ties of music, illustrated in a case study of the blues. He illuminates the real and symbolic crossings facing migrants each day and the affective connections that make persons and societies cohere. In fine and intricate readings of literature, philosophy, art, and geography, Harrison engages in a profound reflection on how bridges form and transform cultural communities. Interdisciplinary and deeply lyrical, Of Bridges is a mesmerizing, vertiginous tale of bridges both visible and invisible, both lived and imagined.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For wood to work successfully in external environments, it must be treated with chemical preservatives. This study determined the effect of various oil- and water-based preservatives on the performance of stress-laminated Southern Pine bridge decks. This 2Â-year study was limited to one species for the wood laminations and one type of stress laminated system. Nine half-width, full-length stress laminated test decks were constructed of Southern Pine lumber. Each test deck was treated with one of seven preservatives and outfitted with one of three bar anchorage types. Moisture content levels did not change significantly throughout the monitoring period, which implies that the wood had achieved moisture equilibrium prior to testing. According to this study, when Southern Pine stress laminated bridge decks are properly designed, (1) the anchorage system has a negligible effect on bar force retention and (2) water-based preservatives may be successfully used to treat these bridge decks. We recommend that the design guidelines currently available for stress-laminated decks treated with oil-based preservatives be extended to decks treated with water-based preservatives and constructed with any bar anchorage system. This recommendation is based on the similarity of the behavior of water- and oil-based preservatives in the stress-laminated test decks treated in this study.
