Bridge Engineering
A global perspective
L. Fernández Troyano
This book is a comprehensive review of how we
create and maintain bridges – one of the most
vital yet vulnerable parts of our infrastructure
– and how we got where we are today.
800 full colour illustrated pages provide a unique
and authoritative reference for practitioners,
researchers and students alike on the state-of-
the-art of bridge engineering world-wide, from
local community footbridges to vast multi-modal
crossings between nations.
It also explains the fundamental role of bridges in
supporting the flow of people and goods that are
vital to sustainable development – and documents
mankind’s ever-increasing ingenuity to meet that
demand over time.
All types and sizes of bridges are covered – from the
earliest stone and timber structures to the modern
arch, beam and frame designs in steel and concrete
and the spectacular developments in recent years
in suspension and cable-stayed crossings.
The book starts by discussing the historic,
socioeconomic and environmental significance
of bridges, from the earliest times to the present
day. The symbolic importance of bridges to
communities is acknowledged, as is the need to
preserve them as part of our cultural heritage.

Prestressed Concrete
Bridges
N. Hewson
Prestressed concrete decks are commonly used
for bridges with spans between 25 and 450 m and
provide economic, durable and aesthetic solutions
in most situations where bridges are needed.
This book clearly explains the principles behind
both the design and construction of prestressed
concrete bridge decks, illustrating the interaction
between the two. It covers all the different
types of deck arrangement and the construction
techniques used, ranging from in-situ slabs and
precast beams; segmental construction and
launched bridges, and cable-stayed structures.
CONTENTS
■ Prestressed concrete in bridge works
■ Prestressing components and equipment
■ Durability and detailing

Traffic Loading on
Highway Bridges
P. Dawe, formerly of DFT
From the introduction of steam traction engines in
the nineteenth century through to the commercial
vehicles and heavy industrial loads of the present
day, bridge engineers have had to consider the
effects of traffic loads on their structures.
This book provides a detailed examination of
all aspects of traffic loading and describes how
design and assessment methods have evolved to
deal with them. As a former Head of the Bridges
Engineering Division of the Department for
Transport, Peter Dawe has first hand experience
of the requirements of the modern bridge engineer
and has provided a comprehensive review of the
development of rules for traffic loading.

Tension Structures
Form and behaviour
W. J. Lewis, University of Warwick
The tension structures discussed in this book are
predominantly roofing forms created from pre-
stressed cable nets, cable trusses, and continuous
membranes (fabric structures). A unique feature
in their design is “form-finding” – an interactive
process of defining the shape of a structure
under tension. The book discusses the role of
stable minimal surfaces (minimum energy forms
occurring in natural objects, such as soap films)
in finding optimal shapes of membrane and
cable structures. The discussion of form-finding
is extended to structural forms whose shape is
supposedly known, such as suspension bridge
cables.
The book presents numerical modelling of the
structural form and behaviour of tension structures,
but also addresses certain misconceptions related
to their design. It provides unique insights into
the most commonly used computational methods,
emphasising their main strengths and limitations.
Mathematical expositions do not go beyond the
level of undergraduate engineering mathematics
and, wherever possible, non-mathematical
language is used to aid understanding of the
fundamental concepts. The intention of the book
is to provide a balance between analytical and
pictorial aspects of the subject.
CONTENTS
■ Form-finding
■ Geometrically non-linear behaviour
■ Dynamic relaxation method
■ Case studies of cable roof structures
■ Design issues: Form-finding and patterning
■ Tension cables in suspension bridges. A case

Intelligent Buildings
Design, Management and Operation
Edited by Professor D. Clements-Croome
University of Reading
Intelligent buildings provide stimulating
environments for people to work and live in and
operate with systems that provide communications
and conveniences for various functions to take
place, however society and building owners or
tenants demand more than this. Buildings are long-
term assets so need to be economical, durable,
flexible, adaptable and sustainable. There are many
stakeholders involved in the process of building
a new intelligent building or updating an old one.
There is also a need to recognise the pace of
change not only in technology but also in society.
Intelligent buildings must demonstrate whole life value.
This means an integrated team approach to design,
construction and facilities management is essential if
a comprehensive set of performance measures are to
be implemented and achieved. Written by a collection
of prominent figures, this book brings together a body

Linear Analysis of
Skeletal Structures
D. Johnson, Nottingham Trent University
Linear Analysis of Skeletal Structures shows how to
model, and how to use computer packages in real
contexts to validate models, verify results and carry
out parameter studies.
The checks referred to are usually statically based
and it is therefore presumed that the reader has a firm
background in statics. This unique book principally:
■ tackles statically indeterminate structures
■ replaces traditional hand analysis teaching of
indeterminate structures by a workbook format
approach based on qualitative and quantitative
(computer analysis) studies
■ provides comprehensive coverage of the
behaviour of skeletal structures – beams, plane
trusses arches, plane frames, space trusses,
grids and space frames
■ uses case studies to provide experience of using
computer packages in real contexts; worksheets
to develop qualitative understanding; and
computer based problems to carry out parameter
studies
■ emphasises computer modelling and the
validation of computer models and solutions.
A workbook approach is used with individual chapters
covering fundamentals, beams, plane trusses, arches,
plane frames, space trusses, grids, and space frames.
Each chapter describes the fundamental behaviour of
a particular structural form, which is supplemented
by qualitative examples and problems.
The book will make essential reading for all levels of
structural, civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers.
The book will be an invaluable aid for all students of
structural and civil engineering, from the later years
of an undergraduate course through to postgraduate
work and the early stages of graduate training within
the field.

Finite Element Design of
Concrete Structures
G. Rombach
In Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures:
practical problems and their solutions the author
addresses this ‘blind belief’ in computer results
by offering a useful critique that ‘important details
are overlooked due to the flood of information’
from the output of computer calculations. Indeed,
errors in the numerical model may lead in extreme
cases to structural failures as the collapse of the
so-called Sleipner platform has demonstrated.
Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures:
practical problems and their solutions highlights that
complex numerical calculations should not be used
to compensate for any lack of practical knowledge of
the structural behaviour of a structure. An engineer
should be able to simplify any real structure
into a well defined, known, understandable and
designable equivalent structural system. This is
an invaluable book for both practical structural
engineers and students who are using software for
designing concrete structures.

Elements of Spatial
Structures
Analysis and Design
M. Y. H. Bangash and T. Bangash
This text highlights all aspects of the analysis and
design of elements related to spatial structures,
using carefully selected examples from existing
structures. Analysing the design elements of
any full scale structures that have already been
constructed makes good economic sense and
avoids duplication in respect of research and
development and the decision-making process,
and provides accurate design criteria for new
constructed facilities.
The text is divided into five sections, each
reinforced with case studies and classic and finite-
element methods, with loads and materials clearly
explained.
■ Loads and material properties of spatial
structures
■ Tall building frames, shear walls and lattice/
grid roof structure
■ Shell-shaped spatial structures
■ Cable-suspended, glass and fabric, net and
tensegritic structures
■ Methods of analysis for supporting
structures
A large appendix is included to provide supporting
analysis. It includes computer subroutines,
seismic and explosion analysis, material cracking
and temperature analysis on design-related work,
and computer programs for bolted and welded
joints, collapse of frames and simple analysis
of trusses.
Many examples and case studies are included
for practising engineers in an attempt to bring
together ideas, forms, material and technical
problems as well as a thorough discussion of
analysis and structural behaviour.

Interaction between
Structural and
Geotechnical Engineers
Edited by R. Katzenbach and J. Turek,
Darmstadt University of Technology
This report has been prepared in the framework
of the Co-operation in Science and Technology
(COST) Action C7 for Soil–Structure Interaction
in Urban Civil Engineering. Based on a survey in
13 European countries and with additional input
from the COST C7 members, the report focuses on
several aspects affecting the interaction between
structural and geotechnical engineers. As the
theoretical foundation for the interaction between
both disciplines is laid during education, the civil
engineering education system of several European
countries are described and evaluated.
This informative report describes national
regulations, such as building codes and laws,
which provide the background against which
the engineer must operate. Some examples are
given of how mutual benefits are achieved by
taking soil–structure interaction into account
during the design process as well as practical
experiences concerning the interaction gained
from international construction projects.
CONTENTS
■ Introduction
■ Aspects of education of geotechnical and
structural engineers
■ Regulations and codes of practice of
interaction
■ Interaction experiences from projects
■ Examples of European practice
■ Special aspects of interaction

Ground Bearing Concrete
Slabs
J. Knapton, Consultant
Ground bearing concrete floors, industrial concrete
hard-standings and concrete highway pavements
have not, in the past, been perceived as a single
type of structural element and their construction
has taken place independently of each other. This is
in spite of their obvious commonality in the areas
of design, materials, geotechnical appreciation and
construction.
This book has been specifically written to break down
the ‘walls’ that have arisen between these three
areas and focus on the issues that are common
to them all. In one practical, yet comprehensive
volume, it integrates the three crucial phases in
the development of ground bearing concrete slabs
– design, specification and construction.
Numerous case studies are provided which
illustrate the design, construction, investigation and
specification of each type of ground bearing slab
and each case study has been selected to represent
those areas likely to be of most relevance to slab
designers. For example, a high bay racking warehouse
is illustrated and the overlaying of a heavily loaded
industrial hardstanding is described. Because
concrete is often the preferred construction material
for industrial roads where loads may be infrequent
but heavy, two such projects are explained.
The book draws from many international authorities,
from industrial practice and from the author’s own
extensive research and, where it is safe to do so,
design short-cuts are presented involving simple
charts and tables. Through new design methods,
such as the ‘ultimate limit state analytical approach’
and ‘cost-effective steel-free design’, along with
such topics as materials, construction, loading
and specifications, Ground bearing concrete slabs
examines and elucidates on one of the major areas
of structural engineering.

Energy and
Environmental Issues for
the Practising Architect
A guide to help at the initial design stage
Professor I. Ward, University of Sheffield
Producing an energy efficient and environmentally
friendly building can be a daunting task for the every
day architect, who may only be commissioned
infrequently to produce such a building. This book
removes the mystery and complexity from this
process by helping the architect understand and put
into practice the many issues involved in generating
an energy efficient and environmentally friendly
design. It is not intended to be a technical manual
on energy issues, rather it gives an overview of, and
practical advice on how to implement the wide range
of topics that must be addressed at the early stages
in the design process.
The book is divided into three main sections. The
first deals with the background to energy and
environmental issues and why it is important to
consider them in building design. The second section
explains how the various design elements can affect
the overall performance of the building. This section
is written so that an architect will obtain sufficient
understanding of the various areas without the need
to have a deep technical understanding of them. The
third section takes the architect through the initial
design process presenting simplified methods and
rules of thumb solutions for assessing the impact
of each design issue on the likely performance of
the building. Finally several case studies of a range
of buildings from the UK, Switzerland, Germany
and France show how it is possible to produce
such buildings within normally accepted design
parameters and cost yardsticks.
The book is aimed at anyone who has an interest
in the design and procurement of buildings. In
particular to the practicing architect and students
of architecture along with those studying or
practicing in design related fields.

Conceptual Structural
Design
Bridging the gap between architects
and engineers
O. Popovic Larsen and A. Tyas, University of
Sheffield
This book aims to ‘bridge the gap’ between
engineers’ and architects’ understanding of
structural form. It aims to inspire designers to
develop innovative and viable structural forms.
This book is presented in two parts. The first
part is theoretical and investigates sources of
inspiration for developing structural form; learning
from natural forms; applying our own intuition;
seeking inspiration from precedents; applying
understanding of structural principles; and
developing design through physical models.
The second part is presented through four case
studies. They include the Chelsea Flower Show
Pavilion by Sara Wigglesworth Architects and
Jane Wernick Associates, the Eden Project by
Nicholas Grimshaw Architects and Anthony Hunt
Associates, the glass structures by Dirk Jan
Postel and Robert Nijsse and the Dutch Expo
2000 Pavilion by MVRDV Architects and ABT
consulting engineers. The case studies all have
in common that the imaginative structural forms
are in harmony with the architectural concept
and, at the same time, present very efficient
solutions to technical and structural problems.
Conceptual structural design is essential reading
for architects and engineering, and for anyone
interested in conceptual structural design.

The Architecture of the
Jubilee Line Extension
D. Bennett, David Bennett Associates
David Bennett’s latest book focuses on the fusion
of innovative architecture and engineering on
London Underground’s Jubilee Line Extension. The
book highlights the complexity of the engineering
involved and the difficulties of creating
architecture in reverse (a building as a hole in
the ground with no elevation and with problems of
light and entrance).
Based on interviews with the architects,
contractors and engineers involved on the project,
each station is introduced in turn, highlighting
the design conception and constructional issues.
The book is prefaced with a brief overview of the
history of the tube network and the innovation in
the way that the new stations were commissioned,
and is illustrated throughout with Dennis Gilbert’s
stunning black and white photography.

The Repair of Historic
Timber Structures
D. Yeomans
Intended for a wide audience, including carpenters,
architects and structural engineers dealing with
the repair and restoration of historic timber
structures, this book takes a practical approach. It
deals with two types of structure, the oak-framed
buildings dating from the Middle Ages (which still
survive in some numbers), and the timber elements
of masonry buildings from the late seventeenth
century. It considers the materials used and the
carpentry techniques employed and provides a
qualitative account of their structural behaviour.
It then provides a simple analysis of typical
structures to show the kinds of stresses that
might be encountered. The view taken is that
simple methods are more appropriate than the
use of modern analytical programmes, given the
uncertain member and joint properties. Methods
of repair are then discussed and a brief guide is
also provided to the survey of historic buildings
containing these structures.
CONTENTS
■ The materials
■ Basic timber structures
■ The form and behaviour of historic joints
■ Behaviour of oak frames
■ Loads and stresses
■ Load transmission in the new carpentry
■ Decay and repair
■ Surveying for repair
■ Bibliography

Earthquake Design Practice BEST

for Buildings, 2nd edition SELLER
E. Booth and D. Key
www.thomastelford.com

This is a practical guide for practising structural engineers, including those

with little or no knowledge of the subject, and also for advanced engineering
students. It has been completely revised to account for the many developments
since the first edition and discusses the provisions of recent seismic codes,
particularly Eurocode 8. The scope includes buildings in concrete, steel, timber
and masonry; site effects, soil liquefaction and foundation design.

There are also chapters on seismic analysis, the retrofit of existing buildings,
building contents and seismic isolation.

CONTENTS
■ The lessons from earthquake damage
■ Ground motion
■ The calculation of structural response
■ Analysis of soils and soil structure interaction
■ Conceptual design
■ Seismic codes of practice
■ Design of foundations
■ Reinforced concrete design
■ Steelwork design
■ Masonry
■ Timber
■ Building contents and cladding
■ Seismic isolation
■ Assessment and strengthening of existing buildings
