- Don't Burn Bridges: Your Exit Strategy
- The article tries to establish the fact that it is stupid to burn bridges. Even if one felt wronged in some way, the last thing want to do is create the impression he is ungracious, or not employable again. Since most of the people will never get a chance to...

- Corrosion Protection of Steel Bridges
- The use of steel for modern bridges has grown significantly over the last 20 years. Engineers and specifiers have recognized the benefits that steel offers as a construction material, which combined with imaginative designs has resulted in some striking bridges that have not escaped the public's attention. Modern bridges currently...

- Comparison of Modeling Techniques for Dynamic Analysis of a Cable-Stayed Bridge
- This paper presents a comparison of two approaches to finite element modeling of the dynamic behavior of a cable-stayed bridge. The bridge considered in this study is the Cape Girardeau Bridge, which has a composite deck composed of two steel girders along the edges spanned by a concrete slab. The...

- Robust Hybrid Control of a Cable-Stayed Bridge
- This paper presents a robust hybrid control system for seismic response control of a cable-stayed bridge. Because multiple control devices are operating, a hybrid control system could alleviate some of the restrictions and limitations that exist when each system is acting alone. Lead rubber bearings are used as passive control...

- A Comparative Study on Aseismic Performances of Base Isolation Systems for Multi-Span Continuous Bridge
- The recommended ranges of the design parameters are presented in this study. The design parameters such as the first natural period of the isolated bridge and the friction coefficient of the bearing are determined by the reciprocal relationship between the peak deck displacement and the peak overturning moment of the...

- Modeling Masonry Arch Bridges Using Commercial Finite Element Software
- Numerical models of masonry arch bridges are required for accurate determination of ultimate failure loads. Finite element analysis FEA has been surprisingly under-used in this area perhaps because the main features of masonry behavior, namely strongly non-linear loss of stiffness through cracking and failure of an arch by the formation...

- A Skyline Air Bridge
- Simplicity requires greater imagination in the modern world of advanced technologies. The air bridge at Gatwick Airport satisfies the requirements of the airport, the aircraft and the passengers in a simple but very distinctive way. It is the combination of these requirements that determined its shape and the ambitious manner...

- Whatman's Field Downstream Bridge, Maidstone
- In May 1998 a team of Architects and Engineers were appointed to assist in the concept and design for a Millennium Project at Maidstone River Park. The upstream bridge, a cranked concrete stress ribbon, is complemented by a downstream steel bridge inspired more by 'landscape' art than bridge engineering aesthetics....

- Gateshead Millennium Bridge, Tyneside
- The brief was dominated by the requirement to retain a 30m-wide clear channel for shipping whilst maintaining a low-level crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as addressing the importance of context in this place characterized by its bridges. The opening motion of the design is both its generator and...

- Tees Barrage Bridge, Cleveland
- The Tees Barrage, designed to retain a constant water level and provide vehicular access from the A66 and A19, is a catalyst for the regeneration of Teesdale, 100ha of derelict land along the River Tees close to Stockton town centre. The bridge had to carry the highest standard loading specified...

- Case Study #5: Pequabuck Bridge, Farmington
- Although normally a small, quiet stream, the Pequabuck River is subject to severe flooding, which damaged the masonry of this bridge over its 150 years of service? When closed in 1982, the bridge had a longitudinal crack along the full length of the arch and several gaping holes in the...

- Case Study #4: Pine Creek Park Bridge, Fairfield
- This bridge formerly carried Mill Hill Road in Fairfield over Metro North's railroad tracks. In 1979, the State of Connecticut undertook the improvement of the crossing as part of a program to repair or replace structurally deficient town bridges that crossed rail lines. The bridge is functional, and in the...

- Case Study #1: West Cornwall Bridge, Cornwall-Sharon
- West Cornwall's covered bridge has a long history of problems. In 1939 the bridge was posted for a ten-ton limit after a state inspector observed, flood waters in 1955 nearly swept the bridge away. In 1961, a huge ice jam built up around the pier and abutments; only dynamiting the...

- The Influence of Construction Technology on the Mechanics of Masonry Railway Bridges
- In this paper, with reference to real, in-service bridges, it has been shown that information obtained from visual inspection may suggest a structure which is different from the internal effective one. The historical sources highlight that these cases are much more common than usually believed. Furthermore, it has been shown...

- Continuity Diaphragm for Skewed Continuous Span Precast Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
- Continuity diaphragms used on skewed bents in pre-stressed girder bridges cause difficulties in detailing and construction. The bridge parameters considered in the study described in this paper are based on results of a survey sent to other states' bridge engineers and design of experiment techniques. The parameters include girder type,...
