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 National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program (NHCBP)
includes preservation of covered bridges that are listed, or are
eligible for listing, on the National Register of Historic Places.
It also advocates research for better means of restoring and
protecting historic covered bridges, using advanced technology. The
book is aimed at the highest form of historic preservation:
maintaining the bridge not only physically, but also functionally.
While the builder's original form is preserved, the structure
continues to serve as a real bridge and not a historical relic. The
technology being investigated uses glass-fibre reinforced polymer
(GFRP) products to increase the strength of the members with
minimal increases in x-section. The study also looks at ways to
mask the use of the GFRP components. This study is just the
beginning of research on this topic. The concept will be refined
and amplified in future projects. The book is intended primarily
for engineers, contractors, researchers, consultants, bridge
owners, and historic bridge preservationists to help them keep
these historic structures in full service.
