Synopsis

This book sets out to identify, using mathematical and mechanical principles, the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of the suspension bridge design developed by Mr. Dredge. The author takes the reader through a thorough examination of the key principles that create and maintain the dynamic equilibrium that defines an effective bridge, paying particular attention to the precise variables that make Mr. Dredge's design so innovative and reliable. Equipping the reader with theorems that can be applied to new situations as they arise, this detailed work goes beyond a simple explanation of the theory behind Dredge's invention, it offers tools that empower effective engineering whatever the challenge. The mathematical approach to the subject matter not only provides the necessary depth for the engineer, it also ensures that the text has lasting relevance in a field continually developing new materials and techniques.
