Von der hinteren Coverseite

Up-to-date coverage on all aspects of designing, building, maintaining, and evaluating

Movable Bridge Engineering is the most comprehensive reference on movable bridges published in the past sixty years. This new, highly visual resource addresses the engineering design and construction technology of new movable bridges, as well as the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing ones.

Movable Bridge Engineering is organized into six functional parts from an engineering perspective:

• Selection
• Design
• Construction
• Maintenance
• Inspection
• Evaluation of existing bridges

All structural issues and relevant mechanical and electrical systems for vertical lift, swing, and bascule bridges (for highway and railway use) are covered, including machinery, applications, reversing loads, traffic maintenance, and many other issues relevant to these specialized bridges.

With hundreds of informative photographs and illustrations, Movable Bridge Engineering is the most complete, in-depth guide for everyone working with bridges of this type.
