MOVABLE BRIDGE DESING
Charles Birnstiel, William Bowden and George
Foerster
Movable Bridge Design provides a fascinating and comprehensive guide of both past and current approaches to the design of a wide range of movable bridges.
Against the background of worldwide development, the author provides the necessary information on the mechanical systems that drive movable bridges.
A wide range of structures are explored in an accessible format to be used at a practical level.
Key topics of focus are:
- Design specifications and standards
- Machinery required to operate and stabilise movable spans
- Traditional and non-traditional superstructure forms
- Materials of construction
- Material strength and failure
- Examples of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical systems
An essential purchase to inform and guide engineers, engineering consultants, and administrators of governmental agencies, as well as students from these disciplines.
