The second edition of the bestselling Steel-concrete Composite
Bridges is fully up-to-date with the methods now used for these
structures in accordance with Eurocodes, introduced since
publication of the first edition. This book shows how to design the
various forms of steel-concrete composite bridges simply, with the
use of real-life illustrative examples of bridges and data from
research. Steel-concrete composite bridges are those that combine
both steel and concrete elements. They are a commonly-used and
economical option for modern bridge construction projects.
Knowledge of both materials and the behaviour of the interface
between them is required for design of steel-concrete composite
bridges, and is an essential part of the engineer's knowledge set.
This new edition provides a general introduction to the relevant
Eurocodes and covers EC1 on loadings (particularly for bridge
loads), EC2 for concrete elements, EC3 for steel (with particular
reference to the material properties and buckling) and EC4 for
composite action and many industry examples and case studies.
This book introduces 53 bridges that the author designed during his
period teaching at Dalian University of Technology (1984-2014). The
bridges have unique features; some bridges are the first of their
kind in China, while the others are the biggest in size. For
example, Jinma Bridge is the longest single concrete, single-plane,
cable-stayed bridge in the world and Xinghai Bridge is the first
double-deck, steel truss suspension bridge being constructed in the
Sea of China. Innovation and reasonable structure designs must meet
the requirements of applicability, economy, safety, artistic
appearance and endurance. Innovation and rational stress are the
main concern when considering bridge functionality. Only innovation
can make new bridges surpass previously designed bridges. Only
rational stress can save materials and reach the requirements of
economy, safety and endurance. Teachers, students and engineers
engaged in bridge engineering will be inspired from the designing
concepts and methods within this book. The author compiles thirty
years of work and dedication in the field and shares his
discoveries with the readers who are interested in bridge design
and functionality.
This book reports on current challenges in bridge engineering faced
by professionals around the globe, giving a special emphasis to
recently developed techniques and methods for bridge design,
construction and monitoring. Based on extended and revised papers
selected from outstanding presentation at the Istanbul Bridge
Conference 2018, held from November 5 - 6, 2018, in Istanbul,
Turkey, and by highlighting major bridge studies, spanning from
numerical and modeling studies to the applications of new
construction techniques and monitoring systems, this book is
intended to promote high standards in modern bridge engineering. It
offers a timely reference to both academics and professionals in
this field.
The Federal Highway Administration 100-Year Coating Study was
initiated in August 2009 to identify coating systems that can
provide 100 years of virtually maintenance-free service life at
comparable costs to the existing coating systems, even in adverse
environments. This book focuses on the study and discusses the
performance evaluation of one-coat systems for new steel bridges.
