Bridge Aesthetics - Design guidelines [MF]

Bridge Aesthetics - Design guidelines


The purpose of these guidelines is to help design teams produce bridges of aesthetic value.

In addition, these guidelines will also help the RTA and its advisors set down unequivocal aesthetic outcomes so that consultants and contractors are made aware of RTA requirements and can focus on innovation in achieving those requirements.

The document is not intended for special iconic landmark bridges such as the Anzac Bridge which have their own design champions, but rather the more common road bridges which are an abundant and highly visible element of NSW highways.

A number of photographs of NSW bridges have been included. It is not the intention to critically evaluate these bridges but to use the images as lessons for future bridge design.

There are always exceptions to design rules and it is not the intention to provide a formula for good design.
‘A formula is a good servant but a bad master at any time.’
Charles Holden

Rather it is the intention to set down considerations and principles, which will help, eliminate the worst aspects of bridge design and encourage the best.

Highway Engineering, 2nd Edition, by Martin Rogers [MF]

Highway Engineering, 2nd Edition, by Martin Rogers


The book starts with the Transport Planning process and measuring the economic, social and environmental effects of road building to determine the benefits to the community. The English approach by the Highways Agency under the five headings of Environment, Safety, Economy, Accessibility and Integration is explained but is also compared to procedures in Europe and America.

The determination of traffic capacity is particularly interesting, drawing comparisons between the American and UK methods. The American approach has seven levels of service varying from free-flow down to forced flow with traffic moving on a stop–go basis. The design of the road is a function of level of service and design flow and tends to yield an absolute answer. In the UK, however, the designer has a range of options and the final choice is based on economic and cost–benefit analysis.

The two chapters on junctions and alignment concentrate mainly on UK techniques, making extensive reference to the Highways Agency Design Manual for Roads and Bridges. The junction design covers priority intersections, roundabouts and signalised junctions. How to decide whether to provide right turn lanes at T-junctions is explained, together with the benefits of mini-roundabouts. The author discusses the advantages of traffic signals in improving traffic flow and the disadvantages in terms of maintenance and the effects of signal failure. There is a simple explanation of stopping sight distance and overtaking sight distance and how it relates to the design speed and how relaxations and departures can help minimise cost and environmental impact.

The choice of pavement materials and defining their thickness details the use of UK techniques. The author explains the production of bitumen and the empirical tests to determine its quality by penetration test as well as the concepts of rigid concrete roads. His outline of the pavement thickness includes the current UK approach to include a thin surfacing layer in new concrete road construction.

The final chapter on pavement maintenance covers visual condition surveys, the high-speed road monitor, the deflectograph, falling weight deflectometer and SCRIM. The different methods of evaluating concrete roads are also covered. The author explains how to use the pavement condition data to define overlay and repair proposals to extend the life of the road as part of a logical and coherent approach that compares repair costs and ongoing deterioration.

While the book is aimed at undergraduates in Highway Engineering it would be a valuable addition to the practising engineer’s bookshelf. Engineers tend to focus on one aspect, such as alignment, and a book explaining other aspects such as traffic signal design or transport planning gives the knowledge to contribute to the whole of the road design process.

Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation, by Dr. Fu Hua Chen, P.E Edited by M.D. Morris, P.E [MF]

Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation, by Dr. Fu Hua Chen, P.E Edited by M.D. Morris, P.E


In the last 40 years, no fewer than 50 books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics. Most of them were written for use in teaching. Only a few touched on practical applications. When engineers dealt with major complicated projects, such as the failure of the Teton Dam or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, high technology was required. However, 90% of the cases in which consulting engineers are involved do not require mathematical treatment or computer analysis; they mostly need
experience. Consulting soil engineers are involved primarily with the design of
foundation for warehouses, schools, medium-rise buildings, and residential houses. With such projects, the complete answers to soil engineering problems cannot be resolved solely with textbook information.
The purpose of this book is to provide consulting engineers with the practical
meaning of the various aspects of soil mechanics; the use of unconfined compression
test data; the meaning of consolidation tests; the practical value of lateral pressure;
and other topics.

Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges by David C. Iles [MF]

Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges by David C. Iles


Product Description
Composite construction, using a reinforced concrete slab on top of steel girders, is an economical and popular form of construction for highway bridges.
This book covers the design of continuous composite bridges, with both compact and non-compact sections, and simply supported composite bridges with the 'slab-on-beam' form of construction.
Part One provides advice on the general considerations for design, the initial design process, and the verification of structural adequacy in accordance with BS 5400. The determination of design forces throughout the slab is described, and key features relating to slab design are identified. Advice on structural detailing is also given.
Part Two provides worked examples for a four-span bridge, three-span bridge and for the deck slab of a simply supported bridge. Each example is presented as a series of calculation sheets, with accompanying commentary and advice given on facing pages.
Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges is a compilation of guidance previously given in separate SCI publications. As such it will act as an authoritative guide for new designers and as a reference text for the bridge design office.

EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING - Application to Design [MF]

EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING - Application to Design
CHARLES K. ERDEY, Dr. - Ing., SE, PE,


Book Description
ISBN-10: 0470048433 | ISBN-13: 978-0470048436 | Publication Date: January 9, 2007 | Edition: 1
Learn to design code-compliant, earthquake-resistant structures with this practical guide

Earthquake Engineering demonstrates how to design structural members and joints for seismic resistance. The text guides readers through dozens of structural designs, documenting how to perform each step, make the necessary calculations, and adhere to relevant design codes. Most other texts on seismic design focus on theory and the construction of idealized structures; this text is a radical departure, presenting actual tested design methodologies that protect structures from the devastation of earthquakes.

All the design methods presented by the author comply with the current U.S. building codes. References to these codes are provided throughout the text, helping readers understand how they are integrated into an overall structural design.

Everything readers need to create sound designs, from analysis to design implementation, is provided, including:
* Dozens of worked problems throughout the text
* Complete reference chapters dedicated to matrices, differential equations, and numerical analysis
* Latest results of ongoing seismic research, including how these studies are likely to influence future design projects
* The latest 2006 IBC, highlighting significant variations from the 2000 and 2003 editions of the code
* Detailed coverage of seismic design for steel moment-resisting frame structures (SMRF), as well as braced-frame steel, concrete, masonry, and wood-framed structures

This text, with its many worked problems, is ideal for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. Now that the seismic engineering provisions of the IBC Code apply to the entire United States, this text should also guide practicing engineers not yet exposed to seismic design in designing code-compliant, earthquake-resistant structures.

ISBN-10: 3764351489 | ISBN-13: 978-3764351489 | Publication Date: December 20, 1994 | Edition: 1


Book Description
Authors: Hugo Bachmann, Walter J. Ammann, Florian Deischl, Josef Eisenmann, Ingomar Floegl, Gerhard H. Hirsch, Günter K. Klein, Göran J. Lande, Oskar Mahrenholtz, Hans G. Natke, Hans Nussbaumer, Anthony J. Pretlove, Johann H. Rainer, Ernst-Ulrich Saemann, Lorenz Steinbeisser.

Large structures such as factories, gymnasia, concert halls, bridges, towers, masts and chimneys can be detrimentally affected by vibrations. These vibrations can cause either serviceability problems, severely hampering the user's comfort, or safety problems. The aim of this book is to provide structural and civil engineers working in construction and environmental engineering with practical guidelines for counteracting vibration problems. Dynamic actions are considered from the following sources of vibration: - human body motions, - rotating, oscillating and impacting machines, - wind flow, - road traffic, railway traffic and construction work. The main section of the book presents tools that aid in decision-making and in deriving simple solutions to cases of frequently occurring "normal" vibration problems. Complexer problems and more advanced solutions are also considered. In all cases these guidelines should enable the engineer to decide on appropriate solutions expeditiously. The appendices of the book contain fundamentals essential to the main chapters.

Summary: Good book, but not very difficult
Rating: 4

Having taken the exam several times, I have an idea about how the problems on the exam look. This is a good book for learning the concepts, but the problems on the exam are more difficult and trickier. Expect to see all kinds of live loads for warehouses or partition loads in the seismic load and factors from load combinations as well as problems with non-building structures and mechanical equipment. The book covers these subjects but not very thoroughly.

Earthquake Engineering - Theory and Implementation

Nazzal Armouti, PhD, PE





Earthquake Engineering Theory and Implementation, 2nd Edition, reflects the state of the art in earthquake engineering in its modern form. The book is a result of a quarter century of experience of the author in the field of civil engineering, with many years in the area of earthquake-related structures.

The book is divided into three parts:
• Part 1 is theoretical and is intended to give an introduction to the nature of earthquakes where it treats the dynamic aspects of the effect of earthquakes on structures. It also addresses the behavior of structures under seismic excitations.
• Part 2 treats, in detail, the design aspects of earthquake-resistant structures (both buildings and bridges) within the scope of seismic provisions of the latest modern and popular codes in their areas such as IBC, ACI, AISC, and AASHTO.
• Part 3 tackles special topics pertinent to the safety of structures under seismic excitations, such as geotechnical aspects, foundations, synthetic earthquakes, and seismic isolation.
• The book's discussion of theoretical as well as practical sides of the subjects will benefit graduate- and advanced undergraduate-level students. It is also an ideal reference for practicing professionals for analysis and design of earthquake-resistant structures. The book is rich in illustrations and examples that make it easy to follow the concepts and alleviate the perplexity associated with earthquake effects on structures.

A Bonus CD is included. This valuable resource contains the following documents in a PDF format: 2003 NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures with Accompanying Commentary (FEMA 450 Part 1); 2003 NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures with Accompanying Commentary (FEMA 450 Part 2); NEHRP Recommended Provisions: Design Examples (FEMA 451); NEHRP Recommended Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures: Training and Instructional Materials (FEMA 451B); Seismic Considerations for Steel Storage Racks Located in Areas Accessible to the Public (FEMA 460); and CodeMaster: Seismic Design (2006 IBC, 2003 NEHRP, ASCE 7-05).

From the Foreword
This one-of-a-kind book explains the fundamental concepts of structural dynamics and earthquake engineering with exceptional clarity and an unprecedented quantity of numerical examples that help the reader fully understand the concepts being discussed.

Professor Armouti has done a phenomenal job of explaining the difficult concepts of linear and nonlinear dynamics and structural response to earthquake excitations. The presentation style, simplicity of language, and many examples make these concepts readily understandable even to those who face them for the first time.

This ideal textbook for teaching a first undergraduate or graduate course in earthquake engineering not only explains the structural dynamics theories necessary for understanding linear and nonlinear response to earthquake excitations, but also covers the basic design of earthquake-resistant steel and reinforced concrete buildings, bridges and isolated systems, in accordance with the latest codes of the United States.

Students will appreciate the wealth of numerical examples presented for every small and large issue discussed. Instructors will appreciate the simplicity of the presentation, the extensive number of solved examples and the problems contained at the end of the first five chapters. Last, but not least, engineering practitioners will find this book to be an invaluable source of information regarding response of various systems and components to earthquake excitations.

When I was first presented with the manuscript of this book by the International Code Council, the first thought that crossed my mind was: an earthquake engineering book from Jordan for the U.S. market? This initial reaction, however, rapidly faded when I went over the contents and the presentation of the book. I did strongly recommend publication of this textbook for the U.S. market. I am very pleased that this unique book is now available to students and practitioners of earthquake engineering in this country.
