Publisher's Synopsis
Bridge and Structural Design is a comprehensive book written by W. Chase Thomson that covers the design and analysis of various types of structures, including bridges, buildings, and other structures. The book provides a detailed overview of structural analysis and design principles, including the design of steel, concrete, and timber structures. The book begins by introducing the basic concepts of structural engineering, including loads, forces, and stresses. It then explores the design of different types of bridges, such as truss bridges, arch bridges, and cable-stayed bridges. The author discusses the design of bridge components, including beams, columns, and foundations, as well as the use of computer software for structural analysis and design.The book also covers the design of buildings, including the design of steel and concrete structures. It provides an overview of the different types of building structures, including high-rise buildings, industrial buildings, and residential buildings. The author discusses the design of building components, such as floors, walls, and roofs, as well as the use of computer software for structural analysis and design.In addition to bridges and buildings, the book covers the design of other types of structures, such as towers, dams, and tunnels. It provides an overview of the design principles for these structures and discusses the use of computer software for structural analysis and design.Overall, Bridge and Structural Design is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of structural engineering. It provides a comprehensive overview of structural analysis and design principles, as well as practical guidance on the design of various types of structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
