Synopsis

This book offers a detailed exploration of the stresses found in swing-bridges, a type of bridge that utilizes a rotating platform to allow for passage over waterways. The author, drawing on extensive independent research, presents a clear and comprehensive analysis of these structures, using both graphical and analytical methods. The book is particularly notable for its examination of the principle of continuity in swing-bridges, a concept that considers the bridge as a single, continuous structure rather than separate sections. The author delves into the mechanics of load distribution, bending moments, and reactions at the bridge's support points, providing a clear understanding of the forces at play. The book also examines the concept of the equilibrium polygon, a key tool in understanding bridge stability, and discusses its applications in designing swing-bridges. The author's innovative approach to analyzing the stresses in swing-bridges provides valuable insights for engineers and anyone interested in the intricate design of these critical structures.
