Bridge Loads An International Perspective
“Bridge Loads: An International Perspective” by Colin O’Connor, published by Taylor & Francis Group on December 9, 2019, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the intricacies of bridge loads from a global viewpoint. Spanning 360 pages, this book presents a detailed summary of methodologies for calculating bridge loads, exploring the complex interactions between various loads and bridge structures, along with economic considerations.
Readers will find an in-depth examination of a wide range of bridge loads, including highway vehicle loads, pedestrian loads, railing loads, and wind loads. The book discusses the structural design of bridges to accommodate these loads and provides examples to illustrate key concepts. Additionally, it addresses different modes of failure and current codes of practice, making it a valuable handbook for structural engineers and designers engaged in bridge construction, as well as a recommended resource for senior undergraduates and postgraduates studying structural engineering and bridge design.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book provides a detailed summary of bridge loads from an international perspective. The authors cover all aspects from the methodology behind the calculation of bridge loads and the complex interactions between loads and bridges, to economic considerations. A wide range of bridge loads are covered, including highway vehicle loads, pedestrian loads, railing loads and wind loads. The structure and design of bridges to accommodate these loads are examined and examples provided. Different modes of failure and current codes of practice are also covered.This book is unique in its exclusive examination of the loading and will be a useful handbook for structural engineers and designers involved in bridge construction. It is also recommended to senior undergraduates and postgraduates of structural engineering and bridge design.
