Bridge Deck Analysis

This is book is the definitive text on the field of bridge deck behavior and analysis. It provides bridge designers with an evaluation of analytical and modelling techniques and software available, and describe which technique is most suited to each bridge type. The book details US, UK and European codes.

Reviews:
..”.”very well written and easy to read; it could serve as a resource guide for anyone involved in the area of bridge design and analysis as well as a course resource for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students in civil engineering. Recommended for the libraries of all engineering schools..”"

Bridge Deck Behaviour, 2nd Edition

This book describes the underlying behaviour of steel and concrete bridge decks. It shows how complex structures can be analysed with physical reasoning and relatively simple computer models and without complicated mathematics.

“Faced with a detailed design of a reinforced concrete bridge for the first time, I was floundering. I am a mining engineer by training, you see, and went into the civil engineering trade. But Hambly came to my rescue. The book presents basic concepts in the analysis of bridge decks in a less cryptic manner than most academic books, and upon reading and re-reading, one should find that many concepts required in bridge deck analysis are presented quite well here.” – reader’s review.

Bridge Engineering: Seismic Design

Mitigating the effects of earthquakes is crucial to bridge design. Comprising chapters culled from the acclaimed Bridge Engineering Handbook, this volume sets forth the principles and applications of seismic design, from the necessary geotechnical and dynamic analysis background to seismic isolation and energy dissipation, active control, and retrofit technology. In-depth discussions contributed by bridge and earthquake engineers from around the world cover the types and effects of earthquake damage, as well as structural performance criteria.
The book also includes an overview of seismic design practices in Japan, including a study of the damage to highway bridges caused by the Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake.

Handbook of Structural Engineering

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering, encapsulating the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of the field. The authors address a myriad of topics, covering both traditional and innovative approaches to analysis, design, and rehabilitation. The second edition has been expanded and reorganized to be more informative and cohesive. It also follows the developments that have emerged in the field since the previous edition, such as advanced analysis for structural design, performance-based design of earthquake-resistant structures, lifecycle evaluation and condition assessment of existing structures, the use of high-performance materials for construction, and design for safety. Additionally, the book includes numerous tables, charts, and equations, as well as extensive references, reading lists, and websites for further study or more in-depth information. Emphasizing practical applications and easy implementation, this text reflects the increasingly global nature of engineering, compiling the efforts of an international panel of experts from industry and academia. This is a necessity for anyone studying or practicing in the field of structural engineering. New to this edition · Fundamental theories of structural dynamics · Advanced analysis · Wind and earthquake-resistant design · Design of prestressed concrete, masonry, timber, and glass structures · Properties, behavior, and use of high-performance steel, concrete, and fiber-reinforced polymers · Semirigid frame structures · Structural bracing · Structural design for fire safety

Encyclopedia of Architectural and Engineering Feats

Grade 9 Up-Cities, tents, teepees, tunnels, tombs, rapid transit systems, bridges, gardens, cathedrals, skyscrapers and even a space station are just some of the “feats” included in this authoritative survey. From prehistory to the present, high-tech to low, more than 200 architectural and engineering achievements have been selected that reflect “humanity’s propensity to `just do it’— against the odds” and the “social imperatives that stimulated people to push the available technology to its limits”. The volume includes articles on structures that are frequent subjects of reports (“Empire State Building”, “Great Wall of China”) and lesser-known works, as well as selected design movements
