Synopsis

The book presents a comprehensive guide to designing draw-span bridges, thoroughly discussing the subject from its inception to execution. Topics covered include dead load and live load calculations, material selection, web stress analysis, deflection, centre pivoting, and more. The author presents a range of formulae and diagrams that can be referred to for a wide variety of design conditions and provides multiple examples of their application. The book's strength lies in its lucid explanations of complex principles and practical guidance on implementing them in actual designs. This makes it a valuable resource for engineers and designers involved in the construction and maintenance of draw-span bridges.
