  • Bridge Design and Evaluationby Gongkang Fu

    Wiley 2013; US$ 125.00

    A succinct, real-world approach to complete bridge system design and evaluation Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) are design and evaluation methods that have replaced or offered alternatives to other traditional methods as the new standards for designing and load-rating U.S. highway bridges.... more...

  • The Last Three Milesby Steven Hart

    New Press, The 2011; US$ 24.95

    At the dawn of America?s love affair with the automobile, cars and trucks leaving the nation?s largest city were unceremoniously dumped out of the western end of the Holland Tunnel onto local roads wending their way through the New Jersey Meadowlands.

  • Uncertainty and Optimization in Structural Mechanicsby Abdelkhalak El Hami; Radi Bouchaib

    Wiley 2013; US$ 75.00

    Optimization is generally a reduction operation of a definite quantity. This process naturally takes place in our environment and through our activities. For example, many natural systems evolve, in order to minimize their potential energy. Modeling these phenomena then largely relies on our capacity to artificially reproduce these processes. In parallel,... more...

  • Developments in Structural Engineeringby B.H.V. Topping

    Spon Press 1990; US$ 620.00

    The Forth Rail Bridge Centenary Conference considers the design and construction of the bridge and then presents reviews of recent developments in all aspects of structural engineering. Invited keynote papers cover bridges, wide span and space structures, industrial structures, structural analysis and many other topics. more...

  • Ambient Vibration Monitoringby Helmut Wenzel; Dieter Pichler

    Wiley 2005; US$ 170.00

    In-operation vibration monitoring for complex mechanical structures and rotating machines is of key importance in many industrial areas such as aeronautics (wings and other structures subject to strength), automobile (gearbox mounting with a sports car body), rail transportation, power engineering (rotating machines, core and pipes of nuclear power... more...

  • Bridge Engineeringby Wai-Fah Chen

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 139.95

    Mitigating the effects of earthquakes is crucial to bridge design. This work sets forth the principles and applications of seismic deisgn, from the necessary geotechnical and dynamic analysis background to seismic isolation and energy dissipation, active control, and retrofit technology. more...

  • Bridge Managementby Mike Ryall

    Taylor & Francis 2001; US$ 142.00

    As the emphasis in construction moves from building new bridges to maintenance and rehabilitation of existing stock, bridge management is becoming an increasingly important subject.
