TheForth Bridgeover the Firth of Forth inScotland, designed byBenjamin Baker, has two cantilevered spans of 513 metres (1,710 feet), which made it the world’s longest bridge upon its completion in 1890. The steel structure rises 103 metres (342 feet) above the masonry piers. Although from...

small river—and it suggested to the first prehistoric builders that it is possible to overpass obstacles. From this simple structure, a central part of the structural engineering world was inspired and has been perfect over the centuries. In this chapter, a synthesis of the history of bridge ...
The stone bridges that have been partially preserved have solid, largely semicircular, arches with small spans, and piers one-third to one-half of the span in width. Light wooden bridges on piles, as well as floating bridges, were also built; the latter were frequently used for military ...
Truss bridge, bridge with its load-bearing structures composed of a series of wooden or metal triangles, known as trusses. Trusses are capable of supporting considerable external loads over a large span and use a relatively small amount of material, maki
Officials say this is all part of a phased approach to opening the river's main channel, which spans 700 feet, by the end of May, restoring port access to normal capacity. The Dali remains pinned under tons of steel at the crash site, and removing more shipping containers from the vess...

The performance of shear connectors under actual composite stress state, not just the ability of pure shear resistance, is much concerned. 4.2 Steel-concrete composite girders In order to avoid complex three-dimension model, researchers put forward with several beam element models and simplified ...
(1570) describes four designs. Several notable covered bridges were constructed inSwitzerland. TheKappel Bridge(1333) of Luzern has been decorated since 1599 with 112 paintings in the triangular spaces between roof and crossbeams, depicting the history of the town and the lives of its twopatron...
The bridge's design is premised on a curvaceous deck that sweeps across the River Shannon and its embankments in five spans. The impression is both of a single crossing, but also of a series of bridges jumping from pier to pier, like stepping stones in amongst the rivers wooded islands. ...
