The object of this book is to explain firstly the nature of the problems associated with the building of bridges with steel as the basic material, and then the theories that are available to tackle them.
The book covers:
a technological history of the different types of iron and steel bridges
the basic properties of steel
loads on bridges from either natural or traffic-induced forces
the process and aims of design based on limit state and statistical probability concepts
buckling behaviour of various components and large-deflection behaviour of components with initial imperfections
detailed guidance on the design of plate and box girder bridges together with some design examples
The Second Edition includes a completely new chapter on the history and design of cable-stayed bridges, the various types of cable used for them and their method of construction, and it addresses many of the changes introduced in the latest version of the British Standard Design Code for steel bridges, BS 5400: Part 3:2000.
