Author: A. R. Cusens - R. P. Pama | Size: 22 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Scanner | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: 1975 | pages: 279 | ISBN: 0471189987
The construction of bridges comprises one section of the work of the civil engineer which has an immediate 1mpact upon the public.
The reasons for this impact are not hard to find since most major bridges combine a strong visual impression together with obvious benefits in the way of improved communications.
The action of bridging hitherto impassable barriers also inspires a deep and dramatic sense of achievement.
Bridge-building has occupied much of the working lives of the great civil engineers in the last century and a half.
In the light of recent publicity over the failure of bridges during construction it is almost unnecessary to emphasize that professional skill and ingenuity of the highest order are involved.
In a recent paper Dr. Kerensky aptly expressed the feelings of a bridge engineer with the words: 'Design and construction of bridges is a lifelong calling-exacting and rewarding'.
It is evident from its title that this book is concerned primarily with limited aspects of bridge design.
These will be defined later in this first chapter but, initially, in order to provide a general introduction to the subject, current trends in bridge design and construction will be outlined.
