Guide Design Specifications for Bridge Temporary Works 2nd Ed


Book Description

These design specifications have been updated to reflect the current state of the practice for the design and construction of falsework, formwork, and temporary retaining structures. The layout of the information is generally the same as the first edition, however the construction provisions have been moved to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications (see related item). The loads in Section 2—Falsework have been significantly revised, and both ASD and LRFD design specifications are included.







Design Solutions and Innovations in Temporary Structures


Book Description

Temporary structures are a vital but often overlooked component in the success of any construction project. With the assistance of modern technology, design and operation procedures in this area have undergone significant enhancements in recent years. Design Solutions and Innovations in Temporary Structures is a comprehensive source of academic research on the latest methods, practices, and analyses for effective and safe temporary structures. Including perspectives on numerous relevant topics, such as safety considerations, quality management, and structural analysis, this book is ideally designed for engineers, professionals, academics, researchers, and practitioners actively involved in the construction industry.










Construction Handbook for Bridge Temporary Works, 2nd Ed


Book Description

This handbook has been developed for use by contractors and construction engineers involved in bridge construction. This document may also be of interest to falsework design engineers, and supplements information found in the Guide Design Specifications for Bridge Temporary Works (see related item). The content is construction-oriented, focusing primarily on standards of material quality and means and methods of construction. The handbook contains chapters on falsework, formwork, and temporary retaining structures.




Guidelines for Analysis Methods and Construction Engineering of Curved and Skewed Steel Girder Bridges


Book Description

"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 725: Guidelines for Analysis Methods and Construction Engineering of Curved and Skewed Steel Girder Bridges offers guidance on the appropriate level of analysis needed to determine the constructability and constructed geometry of curved and skewed steel girder bridges. When appropriate in lieu of a 3D analysis, the guidelines also introduce improvements to 1D and 2D analyses that require little additional computational costs."--Publication information.
