Ice Publishing Designing And Constructing Prestressed Bridges by Stráský Jirí And Necas Radim
Designing and Constructing Prestressed Bridges shows how designs using prestressing methods can be utilised in the building of bridge structures. Prestressed bridges can be used in a variety of locations and styles and it can often be difficult to understand the intricacies of the design. This book solves this concern by discussing the aspects of bridge design in order to find the most appropriate solution. It focuses on troubleshooting the problems that are connected with finding the correct structural solution of bridges, the methods of their construction and the corresponding arrangement of prestressing steel. With numerous examples of best practice, this heavily illustrated book coversfunction and analysis of prestressinginfluence of creep and shrinkage of concretebehaviour of structures in service and ultimate stagespecial problems of the structural analysis connected with different construction methods.Designing and Constructing Prestressed Bridges is of interest to practicing engineers, junior engineers and students requiring a clear guide for troubleshooting this complex area of structural engineering.
