1. Collection of available data about bridge construction, accessing existing archives; 2. Visual inspection reports about structure geometry and bridge elements conditions; 3. Risk classification of the structure in one of the five attention classes, i.e., low, medium-low, medium, medium-high, and high; 4.
The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) [1] is a non-profit organisation with mission to promote the exchange of knowledge and to advance the practice of structural engineering worldwide in the service of the profession and society, taking into consideration technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects.
Protecting bridges against ship collisions got attention of architects and regulators in the last third of the 20th century due to a marked increase in the frequency of collision accidents: worldwide, 30 major bridges collapsed in the 1960-1998 timeframe after being rammed by ships or barges, 321 persons were killed. The rate of smaller ...
An extradosed bridge employs a structure that combines the main elements of both a prestressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge. [1] [2]: 85 [3] The name comes from the word extrados, the exterior or upper curve of an arch, and refers to how the "stay cables" on an extradosed bridge are not considered as such in the design, but are instead treated as external prestressing tendons ...
The Journal of Bridge Engineering, is a peer-reviewed scientific journal about bridge engineering. It is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Robert Maillart, c. 1925. Robert Maillart (16 February 1872 – 5 April 1940) was a Swiss civil engineer who revolutionized the use of structural reinforced concrete with such designs as the three-hinged arch and the deck-stiffened arch for bridges, and the beamless floor slab and mushroom ceiling for industrial buildings.
He is Chairman of the UK Bridge Owners Forum, established in 2000 by representatives of the bridge owning organisations in the UK.He has been awarded the Diploma of the Henry Adams Award of the Institution of Structural Engineers (1999) and the Telford Premium Award (1999) and Telford Gold Medal (2010) from the Institution of Civil Engineers.
