Opis

This well-illustrated and comprehensive review of buckling in bridges covers theory, background, and simple design calculations relevant to this intriguing phenomenon, analyzing successful attempts to intercede in the buckling process. But because examination of failures provides valuable information about the phenomenon of buckling, this text also presents several failure case studies, including five bridge collapses that occurred in a four-year-period between 1969 and 1973. Designed for practicing civil and structural engineers and advanced-level undergraduate and graduate students, this book provides easy-to-follow design examples that conform to the latest Eurocode. It also takes a special look at thin-walled plated bridge girders.
