Zusatztext "This is the second edition of a book which! since its first publication in 1976! has become one of the most widely used in bridge design offices...The first edition was the best book of its kind. The second edition is better." - New Civil Engineer"The first edition will be familiar to most bridge engineers! who will only need to be assured that the high standard set there has been maintained." - The Structural Engineer Informationen zum Autor E C Hambly was a worked as a visiting professor at Oxford University from 1989 to 1992 lecturing in structural analysis. Klappentext Describes the load distribution behaviour of steel and concrete bridge decks! explaining and demonstrating the underlying principles of different bridge types. The book also shows how complex structures can be analyzed with both hand methods and simple computer models. Zusammenfassung This book describes the underlying behaviour of steel and concrete bridge decks. It shows how complex structures can be analysed with physical reasoning and relatively simple computer models and without complicated mathematics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface.
