ICE manual of bridge engineering
The fully revised, restructured and updated second edition of the ICE Manual of Bridge Engineering has been written and edited by a team of leading experts and presents valuable contributions from across the field within a single resource. The second edition comprehensively addresses key topic within bridge engineering, from history and aesthetics to design, construction and maintenance issues.
Concrete bridge strengthening and repair
Covering a wide range of structural elements and related defects, this collection of twenty concrete bridge strengthening and repair case studies showcases solutions to real problems encountered in the field and the processes by which those solutions were developed. Drawing on a lifetime of experience Atkins consultant Iain Kennedy Reid provides insight into methods of investigation and diagnosis of problems relating to beams, slabs, columns and panel walls, as well as how to apply demand-led research to these problems in a practical way.
Maintenance, safety, risk, management and life-cycle performance of bridges ; Proceedings of the ninth international conference on bridge maintenance, safety and management (IABMAS 2018), 9-13 July 2018, Melbourne, Australia
Provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering and significant contributions to the process of more rational decision-making on bridge maintenance, safety, risk, management and life-cycle performance of bridges for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. The Editors hope that these Proceedings will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with bridge structure and infrastructure systems, including students, researchers and engineers from all areas of bridge engineering.
Maintenance of brick and stone masonry structures
Deals with all the tasks related to brick and stone masonry structures, from the initial identification of defects and their diagnosis to their treatment and monitoring of its cost-effectiveness.
Bridge Management 5 : Inspection, maintenance, assessment and repair ; Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Bridge Management, organized by the University of Surrey, 11–13 April 2005
The last five years have seen the art of bridge management develop into a mature subject. Bridge owners and engineers recognise the importance of implementing fully operational bridge management strategies to ensure that all road and rail bridges remain functional for as long as possible.Bridge structures form a major part of the vast financial investment in infrastructure and consequently their careful management involving structural appraisal, repair and strengthening is of paramount importance.
Bridge design for economy and durability : Concepts for new, strengthened and replacement bridges
Describes a number of new or updated bridging concepts which were developed and s"Describes a number of new or updated bridging concepts which were developed and successfully applied during the author's forty years of close involvement with UK and international bridge design, construction, maintenance and research. The concepts mainly apply to the small/medium span range of bridges and viaducts and contribute to one or more of the following features: design and construction economy in both time and money / ease of inspection and minimum maintenance / ride quality and safety / good appearance / strengthening when required with minimum traffic disruption"
Appraisal and repair of of building structures
This book is a practical guide to the detection and remedy of faults in claddings and fixings on buildings. It sets out the problems involved in common cladding systems for buildings, and relates these problems to all the materials used: stone, masonry, concrete and glass-reinforced composites.
