Standard Trail Suspended and Suspension Bridges

At a glance..

The descriptions given in this book will be quite helpful specially to those who will be working for suspension bridge projects for the first time. The tables and formulas given will enable the surveyors to work out the calculations on site itself. The instructions to be followed during the construction period will help all the bridge builders to avoid the mistake that may even lead to the failure of bridges.

The details..

The Planning, Design and Survey of Standard Trail Suspended and Suspension Bridges is a comprehensive guide for engineers who are involved in the construction of suspension bridges. The book covers various aspects such as methods of surveying, calculations, design procedures along with details about types of trail suspension or suspended bridges. It also includes instructions to be followed during the construction period which can help bridge builders avoid mistakes that may lead to failure.

Part A focuses on different types of trail suspension or suspended bridges available along with their designs. Structural analysis techniques have been explained in detail so that readers can understand how these structures work under load conditions. Additionally, it explains how to conduct surveys at potential bridge sites before beginning any construction work.

Part B deals with execution and maintenance issues related to building standard steel parts for both suspended and suspension bridges used in trails. This section also contains cost estimates for building these structures along with guidelines regarding layout plans required for successful implementation.
