About this title

Synopsis

Mastering Bridge and Crane Calculations with Clear, Practical Guidance

This compendium guides engineers, architects, and builders through the calculation and construction of bridges, roofs, and cranes, with trigonometrical notes to support practical work. It emphasizes usable methods for handling variable loads and real‑world conditions, aiming to be approachable for beginners while still valuable to experienced practitioners.

The book starts with a plain, step‑by‑step approach to understanding forces, moments, and strains. It combines classic theory with illustrated examples and worked calculations, helping readers translate math into safe, solid structures. The volume covers girders, semi‑girders, trusses, and roof systems, and it shows how to apply the Method of Moments to real skeletons and scenarios.

Clear explanations of how loads translate into forces in flanges, braces, and ties
Practical examples for parabolic girders, suspension bridges, and crane skeletons
Guidance on transforming stresses and using parallelograms of forces in design decisions
Step‑by‑step setup for calculating strains with the Method of Moments

Ideal for readers of engineering handbooks and practical builders who want a reliable, math‑backed guide to safe, efficient designs.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
