The Oeresund Link between Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden includes presently the biggest and most heavily loaded cable-stayed bridge carrying both road and railway traffic. The near completion of this project was the occasion for an international conference on Cable-Stayed Bridges, in June 1999.
In addition to a comprehensive session devoted to the Oeresund Link, five other sessions, namely
- Design and Construction
- Composite Structures
- Cable-Stayed Bridges for Railways
- Stay Cable Technology
- Observation, Maintenance and Repair
permitted the presentation of some 70 further contributions. The
sessions were introduced by keynote lectures:
* History of Cable-Stayed Bridges
Niels J. Gimsing, Denmark
* Retrospect and Prospect of Cable-Stayed Bridges in China
Haifan Xiang, China
* Bridges with Multiple Cable-Stayed Spans
Michel Virlogeux, France
* Cable-Stayed Bridges with Special Features
Jörg Schlaich,Germany
* Stay Cable Technology Overview
Manabu Ito, Japan

The authors have in particular introduced their experiences with the rapid increase of ship sizes as well as the introduction of ship types with a high degree of specialization. The associated early failures of these "new" structures have been analyzed to provide the readers with illustrations why structural design needs to be carried out on several levels in order to ensure that correct loading is applied and that local structural behaviour in properly understood.

Birkhauser Architecture 2004 | 247 | ISBN: 3764366834 | PDF | 149
The building of religious structures represents a rare opportunity for the architect to concentrate on the creation of volume, space, and form. Sacred architecture is far less determined than other building tasks by functional requirements, norms, and standards. As a rule, it is free to unfold as pure architecture. Thus in design terms this building task offers enormous freedoms to the architect. At the same time, however, the special atmospherics of sacred spaces call, on the part of the architect, for a highly sensitive treatment of religion and the relevant cultural and architectural traditions

The Reference Manual for Soils and Foundations course is intended for design and construction professionals involved with the selection, design and construction of geotechnical features for surface transportation facilities. The manual is geared towards practitioners who routinely deal with soils and foundations issues but who may have little theoretical background in soil mechanics or foundation engineering. The manual’s content follows a project-oriented approach where the geotechnical aspects of a project are traced from preparation of the boring request through design computation of settlement, allowable footing pressure, etc., to the construction of approach embankments and foundations. Appendix A includes an example bridge project where such an approach is demonstrated.
Recommendations are presented on how to layout borings efficiently, how to minimize approach embankment settlement, how to design the most cost-effective pier and abutment foundations, and how to transmit design information properly through plans, specifications, and/or contact with the project engineer so that the project can be
constructed efficiently.
The objective of this manual is to present recommended methods for the safe, cost-effective design and construction of geotechnical features. Coordination between geotechnical specialists and project team members at all phases of a project is stressed. Readers are encouraged to develop an appreciation of geotechnical activities in all project phases that influence or are influenced by their work.
