Covered Bridge Manual

This manual provides guidance to those involved with all aspects of the work, from initial inspection and evaluation, through the engineering of rehabilitation, to construction issues. Broadly speaking, this manual covers general terminology and historic development of covered bridges. The manual also addresses loads, structural analysis, connections, and design issues. The last six chapters contain discussions of evaluation, maintenance, strengthening, and preservation of existing covered bridges; historic considerations of existing structures; and provide a state-of-the-art guide on wood preservatives for covered bridges. Historic preservation requirements as they relate to the U.S. Department of Interior standards for these important and unusual structures also are provided. The appendices include an extensive series of case studies.
The manual focuses on the nuances of the engineering aspects of covered bridges, including some issues not addressed currently by national bridge specifications. The chapter on timber connections provides a comprehensive discussion of covered bridge joinery and represents an important contribution to covered bridge engineering.

Fibers as structural element for the reinforcement of concrete

The purpose of this manual is to provide general information, criteria and new methodologies for the calculation, project and execution of concrete reinforced works with fibers. They will be presented, therefore, the obtained data of the investigations made by Maccaferri, oriented to the study of the behavior, resistance and efficiency of such structures. The Maccaferri intention is to have new and useful contributions to concrete works reinforced with fibers, helping the consultants and contractors work who act in the segment of structural engineering. For a more detailed analysis on the arguments treated here, we suggest to consult the specific publications that are indicated in the bibliographical references. This manual they will be presented and discussed theoretical foundations, numerical examples of the of the concrete reinforced with fibers applications and details of the use of the Wirand® metallic fibers and Fibromac® plastic fibers. Maccaferri is placed to total disposition, to give solution to problems, cradle in its experience, acquired along more than 100 years of existence in all the world.

BS 4482:1985 Specification for cold reduced steel wire for the reinforcement of concrete

Code of practice for BS 8007:1987 Design of concrete structures for retaining aqueous liquids

This British Standard provides recommendations for the design and construction of normal reinforced and prestressed concrete structures used for the containment or exclusion of aqueous liquids. The term “liquid” in this code includes any contained or excluded aqueous liquids but excludes aggressive liquids. The code does not cover dams, pipes, pipelines, lined structures, or the damp-proofing of basements. The term “structure” is used herein for the vessel that contains or excludes the liquid, and includes tanks, reservoirs, and other vessels.
NOTE 1 The design of structures of special form or in unusual circumstances is a matter for the judgement of the designer.
NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
