The Design of Prestressed Concrete Bridges: Concepts and Principles

The Design of Prestressed Concrete Bridges: Concepts and Principles by Robert Benaim (2007)

Amazon's Book Description

Examining the fundamental differences between design and analysis, Robert Benaim explores the close relationship between aesthetic and technical creativity and the importance of the intuitive, more imaginative qualities of design that every designer should employ when designing a structure.
Aiding designers of concrete bridges in developing an intuitive understanding of structural action, this book encourages innovation and the development of engineering architecture. Simple, relevant calculation techniques that should precede any detailed analysis are summarized. Construction methods used to build concrete bridge decks and substructures are detailed and direct guidance on the choice and the sizing of different types of concrete bridge deck is given. In addition guidance is provided on solving recurring difficult problems of detailed design and realistic examples of the design process are provided.
This book enables concrete bridge designers to broaden their scope in design and provides an analysis of the necessary calculations and methods.

Geo Cell said...

Geocell are usually manufactured in panels or sheets and are available in different sizes and depths depending on the application. The panels are connected by welded joints, and once expanded, they form a grid-like structure that can be filled with various materials. This system works on the principle of soil reinforcement, enhancing the shear strength of the soil by confining the material within the cells.
