Beskrivning

Designing and Constructing Prestressed Bridges shows how designs using prestressing methods can be utilised in the building of bridge structures. Prestressed bridges can be used in a variety of locations and styles and it can often be difficult to understand the intricacies of the design. This book solves this concern by discussing the aspects of bridge design in order to find the most appropriate solution. It focuses on troubleshooting the problems that are connected with finding the correct structural solution of bridges, the methods of their construction and the corresponding arrangement of prestressing steel.With numerous examples of best practice, this heavily illustrated book coversfunction and analysis of prestressinginfluence of creep and shrinkage of concretebehaviour of structures in service and ultimate stagespecial problems of the structural analysis connected with different construction methods.Designing and Constructing Prestressed Bridges is of interest to practicing engineers, junior engineers and students requiring a clear guide for troubleshooting this complex area of structural engineering.

Recensioner i media

This book covers all aspects of the design and construction of prestressed concrete bridges in a comprehensive and systematic way. The various concepts are illustrated by an abundance of real projects, many of them elegantly designed by the first author in a structurally efficient way but also aesthetically pleasing. The book offers both theoretical concepts and practical insights, and ample attention is paid to environmental and architectural aspects. I can strongly recommend this splendid handbook to both bridge designers and practitioners involved in bridge construction. Of course, everybody interested in prestressed concrete will enjoy reading this nicely illustrated book.
