Movable Bridge Engineering
Complete
Reference Guide to the Design, Maintenance and Upkeep of Movable
Bridges
By Terry L. Koglin
Comprehensive
Coverage of Engineering Design and Actual Construction Technology of
Movable Bridges
This new reference work addresses both the
maintenance and the upkeep of existing movable bridges, as well as
the complete design of new movable bridges.
Comprehensive coverage is provided on
engineering design and actual construction technology used in
building all major types of bridges, including all structural issues
and relevant mechanical and electrical systems used to make such
bridges functional.
Includes coverage of vertical lift, swing, and
bascule bridges for both highway and railway usage.
Offers valuable guidance on operation,
maintenance, inspection, and rehabilitation of moveable bridges.
