Synopsis

This book delves into bridge engineering, tackling complex problems through the concept of Influence Lines. These lines unravel the impact a rolling load has on bridges at any specific point. The author provides clear rules with illustrative examples, empowering engineers to optimize bridge designs and reduce the amount of labor required for load calculations. The theory is applicable to various bridge types, including simply supported beams, trusses, and more involved continuous structures like fixed and continuous beams. Moreover, it provides guidance on handling irregular load systems, further expanding its practicality. The insights gained from this book will prove invaluable for structural engineers looking to streamline their design processes and ensure the integrity of their bridges.
