The Design of Modern Steel Bridges
Résumé
Bridges are great symbols of mankind's conquest of space. They are a monument to his vision and determination, but these alone are not enough. An appreciation of the mathematical theories underlying bridge design is essential to resist the physical forces of nature and gravity.
The object of this book is to explain firstly the nature of the problems associated with the building of bridges with steel as the basic material, and then the theories that are available to tackle them.
The book covers:
- a technological history of the different types of iron and steel bridges
- the basic properties of steel
- loads on bridges from either natural or traffic-induced forces
- the process and aims of design based on limit state and statistical probability concepts
- buckling behaviour of various components and large-deflection behaviour of components with initial imperfections
- detailed guidance on the design of plate and box girder bridges together with some design examples
The Second Edition includes a completely new chapter on the history and design of cable-stayed bridges, the various types of cable used for them and their method of construction, and it addresses many of the changes introduced in the latest version of the British Standard Design Code for steel bridges, BS 5400: Part 3:2000.
L'auteur - Sukhen Chatterjee
Sukhen Chatterjee BE, MSc, PhD, FICE, MIStructE(Retd), graduated in civil engineering with distinction from Calcutta University, India and obtained a doctorate from Imperial College of London University. His early career consisted of designing and building large industrial buildings, power stations and railway bridges. In 1970 he joined the Department of Transport of Her Majesty's Government in London, and was called upon to assist the Merrison Committee for the inquiry into the collapse of steel box girder bridges. On behalf of that Committee, he drafted Part 3 of the Interim Design and Assessment Rules for Steel Box Girder Bridges, which explained the fundamental basis of these rules.
After organising an extensive programme of theoretical and experimental research into stiffened thin-plate structures, he took a leading part in converting the results of this research into practical design rules and drafted the majority of the design code BS 5400:Part 3:1982 for steel bridges on behalf of the British Standards Committee.
Dr Chatterjee became the Head of Bridge Engineering at the Department of Transport, responsible for all standards for design, construction, assessment and maintenance of highway structures and for the technical approval of design proposals for all major highway structures in the United Kingdom. He later directed the strengthening of the Severn Suspension and Wye Cable-stayed Bridges and the feasibility of a second crossing of the Severn.
Subsequently Dr Chatterjee was Director of the London Regional Office of the Department of Transport, responsible for a billion pound programme of major road improvement schemes for the trunk road system in London. Since 1995 Dr Chatterjee has been practising as a civil, structural and transportation engineering consultant.
