Bridge EngineeringA global perspective

Leonardo Fernández Troyano

Printed in full colour throughout, including 1932colour illustrations

This book is a comprehensive review of how wecreate and maintain bridges – one of the most vitalyet vulnerable parts of our infrastructure – andhow we got where we are today.

Its 800 full colour illustrated pages provide aunique and authoritative reference forpractitioners, researchers and students alike onthe state-of-the-art of bridge engineering world-wide, from local community footbridges to vastmulti-modal crossings between nations.

It also explains the fundamental role of bridges insupporting the flow of people and goods that arevital to sustainable development – and documentsmankind’s ever-increasing ingenuity to meet thatdemand over time.

All types and sizes of bridges are covered – fromthe earliest stone and timber structures to themodern arch, beam and frame designs in steel andconcrete and the spectacular developments inrecent years in suspension and cable-stayedcrossings.

The book starts by discussing the historic,socioeconomic and environmental significance ofbridges, from the earliest times to the present day.The symbolic importance of bridges to communitiesis acknowledged, as is the need to preserve themas part of our cultural heritage.

A history of bridge design and construction follows,

examining in particular the increasing role playedby specialist bridge engineers. The materials usedin bridge construction are discussed – rangingfrom timber, stone and cast iron to steel, concreteand the latest advanced lightweight composites.

Prestressed ConcreteBridges Nigel Hewson

Prestressed concrete decks are commonly used forbridges with spans between 25m and 450m andprovide economic, durable and aesthetic solutionsin most situations where bridges are needed. Thisbook clearly explains the principles behind both thedesign and construction of prestressed concretebridge decks, illustrating the interaction betweenthe two. It covers all the different types of deckarrangement and the construction techniquesused, ranging from in-situ slabs and precastbeams; segmental construction and launchedbridges, and cable-stayed structures.

Included throughout the book are many examplesof the different types of prestressed concretedecks commonly used, with the design aspects ofeach discussed along with the general analysis anddesign process. Detailed descriptions of theprestressing components and systems used arealso included.

This book is an essential reference for both theexperienced engineer and the graduate who wantsto learn about prestressed concrete bridges.

Stress Ribbon andSupported Cable PedestrianBridgesProfessor Jiri Strasky

‘Stress-ribbon bridges’ is the term used to describestructures formed by a very slender concrete deckin the shape of a catenary. They can be designedwith one or more spans and are characterized bysuccessive and complementary smooth curves.These curves blend into the natural environmentand their forms, the most simple and basic ofstructural solutions, clearly articulate the flow ofinternal forces which can be erected without unduepressure on the environment.

Stress Ribbon and Cable Supported Pedestrian Bridgeslooks at how slender concrete deck is used in thedesign of suspension and cable stayed structures. Itlooks at their characteristic feature; their rigidity,which is mainly given by the tension stiffness ofprestressed concrete decking, so much so thatmovement caused by pedestrians or wind does notregister as discomfort by users. Starting with a briefhistory the title describes structural types, addressesgeneral design criteria, current technology, static anddynamic analysis and discusses the results of thestatic and dynamic loading tests. Illustratedthroughout, Stress ribbon and cable supportedpedestrian bridges provide examples of outstandingstructures, which have been recently completed.

Traffic Loading on HighwayBridgesPeter Dawe, formerly of DFT

From the introduction of steam traction engines inthe nineteenth century through to the commercialvehicles and heavy industrial loads of the presentday, bridge engineers have had to consider theeffects of traffic loads on their structures.

This book provides a detailed examination of allaspects of traffic loading and describes how designand assessment methods have evolved to deal withthem. As a former Head of the Bridges EngineeringDivision of the Department for Transport, PeterDawe has first hand experience of the requirementsof the modern bridge engineer and has provided acomprehensive review of the development of rulesfor traffic loading.

This book will be of value to students who wish todelve into the background behind the currentloading rules, practising engineers who wish tounderstand the premises upon which the rules arebased and researchers who wish to develop thesubject further.

Bridge LaunchingMarco Rosignoli, Consultant Engineer

This new book is devoted to the construction ofbridges by incremental launching methods, usingprestressed concrete, steel, composite, orprestressed composite materials. It integrates thestatic, aesthetic and economic aspects ofconstruction techniques for building these state-ofthe-art structures. Bridge Launching is acomprehensive handbook, offering explanations ofboth the theoretical and technical aspects of theconstruction process. Both beam bridges and archbridges are thoroughly analysed, and special theoriesaimed at optimizing static aspects, as well as localphenomena, are developed. Construction, assembly

and prestressing methods for bridge segments andlaunching techniques are described, together withassessment of load conditions by means of fieldmonitoring and data recording.

Presented within this essential handbook aresections on prestressed concrete bridges includingcast-in-situ and segmental precast structures,composite bridges which include I-girder opensections and box girders, and prestressed compositebridges covering stiffened and corrugated-plate webs.Design and technical requirements of launchequipment are also discussed for the individualbridge types to provide more detail for the reader.

This invaluable book is a must-buy for all thoseinvolved in bridge construction and innovative buildingtechniques, such as bridge owners, those in designoffices, bridge consultants and construction equipmentsuppliers.

Integral bridges have become increasingly popular inthe UK. Indeed, the Highways Agency standard nowrequires, where possible, that all new bridges with alength of less than sixty metres should be of integralform.

This book was commissioned by the HighwaysAgency to give guidance to bridge designers byaddressing the thermally induced soil–structureinteraction problem created by environmentalchanges of temperature and the associated cyclicaldisplacements imposed on the granular backfill tothe bridge abutments. It develops a bettertheoretical understanding of the cyclic performance,in particular the strain racheting in the backfill soilwhen in contact with a ‘stiff’ structure. It alsoidentifies the governing soil parameters andexamines their influence in the interaction problem,develops numerical modeling procedures to predictinteractive soil behaviour, and identifies andquantifies the controlling features of bridgestructures relevant to the interaction problem.

Tension StructuresForm and behaviour

Wanda J Lewis, University of Warwick

The tension structures discussed in this book arepredominantly roofing forms created from pre-stressed cable nets, cable trusses, and continuousmembranes (fabric structures). A unique feature intheir design is “form-finding” – an interactiveprocess of defining the shape of a structure undertension. The book discusses the role of stableminimal surfaces (minimum energy forms occurringin natural objects, such as soap films) in findingoptimal shapes of membrane and cable structures.The discussion of form-finding is extended tostructural forms whose shape is supposedly known,such as suspension bridge cables.

The book presents numerical modelling of thestructural form and behaviour of tension structures,but also addresses certain misconceptions relatedto their design. It provides unique insights into themost commonly used computational methods,emphasising their main strengths and limitations.Mathematical expositions do not go beyond the levelof undergraduate engineering mathematics and,wherever possible, non-mathematical language isused to aid understanding of the fundamentalconcepts. The intention of the book is to provide abalance between analytical and pictorial aspects ofthe subject.

Intelligent BuildingsDesign, Management and OperationEdited by Professor Derek Clements-CroomeUniversity of Reading

Intelligent buildings provide stimulatingenvironments for people to work and live in andoperate with systems that provide communicationsand conveniences for various functions to takeplace, however society and building owners ortenants demand more than this. Buildings arelong-term assets so need to be economical,durable, flexible, adaptable and sustainable. Thereare many stakeholders involved in the process ofbuilding a new intelligent building or updating anold one. There is also a need to recognise the paceof change not only in technology but also insociety.Intelligent Buildings must demonstrate whole lifevalue. This means an integrated team approach todesign, construction and facilities management isessential if a comprehensive set of performancemeasures are to be implemented and achieved.Written by a collection of prominent figures, thisbook brings together a body of the latestknowledge about design, management, technologyand sustainability set against a background ofdevelopments in the cultural landscapes, whichaffect those living and working in buildings.

This book will appeal to architects, engineers,practitioners and all stakeholders who are involvedin promoting, designing, constructing or operatingbuildings. This will include building owners andclients as well as facilities managers and those whodesign and construct buildings. It will also serve asa reference text for students in architecture,building environmental engineering and othercourses concerned with the built environment.

Linear Analysis of SkeletalStructuresDavid Johnson, Nottingham Trent University

Linear Analysis of Skeletal Structures meets thedemands of a typical prominent structuralengineering educator who aims to:

“teach students how to model, how to use computerpackages in real contexts, to validate models,verify results and carry out parameter studies.Hand analysis is now only for very simple problemsand for back-of-envelope checks”.

The checks referred to are usually statically basedand it is therefore presumed that the reader has afirm background in statics. This unique bookprincipally:

■ tackles statically indeterminate structures

■ replaces traditional hand analysis teaching ofindeterminate structures by a workbook formatapproach based on qualitative and quantitative(computer analysis) studies

■ provides comprehensive coverage of thebehaviour of skeletal structures – beams, planetrusses arches, plane frames, space trusses,grids and space frames

■ uses case studies to provide experience ofusing computer packages in real contexts;worksheets to develop qualitativeunderstanding; and computer based problemsto carry out parameter studies

■ emphasises computer modelling and thevalidation of computer models and solutions.

A workbook approach is used with individualchapters covering fundamentals, beams, planetrusses, arches, plane frames, space trusses,grids, and space frames. Each chapter describesthe fundamental behaviour of a particularstructural form, which is supplemented byqualitative examples and problems.

The book will make essential reading for all levelsof structural, civil, mechanical and aerospaceengineers. The book will be an invaluable aid for allstudents of structural and civil engineering, fromthe later years of an undergraduate course throughto postgraduate work and the early stages ofgraduate training within the field.

Finite Element Design ofConcrete StructuresG Rombach

In Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures:practical problems and their solutions the authoraddresses this ‘blind belief’ in computer results byoffering a useful critique that ‘important details areoverlooked due to the flood of information’ from theoutput of computer calculations. Indeed, errors inthe numerical model may lead in extreme cases tostructural failures as the collapse of the so-calledSleipner platform has demonstrated.

Finite Element Design of Concrete Structures:practical problems and their solutions highlights thatcomplex numerical calculations should not be usedto compensate for any lack of practical knowledge ofthe structural behaviour of a structure. An engineershould be able to simplify any real structure into awell defined, known, understandable and designableequivalent structural system. This is an invaluablebook for both practical structural engineers andstudents who are using software for designingconcrete structures.

Elements of SpatialStructuresAnalysis and Design

M Y H Bangash and T Bangash

This excellent text highlights all aspects of theanalysis and design of elements related to spatialstructures, using carefully selected examples fromexisting structures. Analysing the design elementsof any full scale structures that have already beenconstructed makes good economic sense andavoids duplication in respect of research anddevelopment and the decision-making process, andprovides accurate design criteria for newconstructed facilities.

Interaction betweenStructural and GeotechnicalEngineersEdited by Rolf Katzenbach and Jens Turek,Darmstadt University of Technology

This report has been prepared in the framework ofthe Co-operation in Science and Technology (COST)Action C7 for Soil–Structure Interaction in UrbanCivil Engineering. Based on a survey in 13 Europeancountries and with additional input from the COSTC7 members, the report focuses on several aspectsaffecting the interaction between structural andgeotechnical engineers. As the theoreticalfoundation for the interaction between bothdisciplines is laid during education, the civilengineering education system of several Europeancountries are described and evaluated.

This informative report describes nationalregulations, such as building codes and laws, whichprovide the background against which the engineermust operate. Some examples are given of howmutual benefits are achieved by takingsoil–structure interaction into account during thedesign process as well as practical experiencesconcerning the interaction gained frominternational construction projects.

Ground Bearing ConcreteSlabsJohn Knapton, Consultant

Ground bearing concrete floors, industrial concretehard-standings and concrete highway pavements havenot, in the past, been perceived as a single type ofstructural element and their construction has takenplace independently of each other. This is in spite oftheir obvious commonality in the areas of design,materials, geotechnical appreciation and construction.

This book has been specifically written to break downthe ‘walls’ that have arisen between these threeareas and focus on the issues that are common tothem all. In one practical, yet comprehensive volume,it integrates the three crucial phases in thedevelopment of ground bearing concrete slabs –design, specification and construction.

Numerous case studies are provided whichillustrate the design, construction, investigationand specification of each type of ground bearingslab and each case study has been selected torepresent those areas likely to be of mostrelevance to slab designers. For example, a highbay racking warehouse is illustrated and theoverlaying of a heavily loaded industrialhardstanding is described. Because concrete isoften the preferred construction material forindustrial roads where loads may be infrequent butheavy, two such projects are explained.

The book draws from many internationalauthorities, from industrial practice and from theauthor’s own extensive research and, where it issafe to do so, design short-cuts are presentedinvolving simple charts and tables. Through newdesign methods, such as the ‘ultimate limit stateanalytical approach’ and ‘cost-effective steel-freedesign’, along with such topics as materials,construction, loading and specifications, Groundbearing concrete slabs examines and elucidates onone of the major areas of structural engineering.

30 THE ENGINEER’S CONTRIBUTION TO CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

THE ENGINEER’S CONTRIBUTION TO CONTEMPORARYARCHITECTUREThe Engineer’s Contribution to Contemporary Architecture is a unique collection of books showing howthe role of structural engineer has developed and evolved to make a major contribution to moderndesign and architecture, due entirely to the attitudes and innovations of exceptional engineers.

Owen WilliamsDavid Yeomans, University of Liverpool and David Cottam, Architect

Sir Owen Williams designed buildings asfunctional structures sheathed with decorativefacades.Blurring the roles of engineer and architect,Williams produced a series of innovative reinforcedconcrete buildings whose aesthetic treatmentdepended upon an expression of their structures.Although he began his career as an engineer,William’s interest in design led him to beconsidered as an architect in his own right.The book highlights the significant contribution that Williams made to the development of modernarchitecture through the innovations that he explored in both exposed concrete and glass facades. Itdiscusses the importance of his relationships with others on projects in informing the evolution ofhis designs. Williams was one of the first to develop aesthetic possibilities of concrete and changeits association with cost, functional buildings and industrial structures.

Anthony HuntAngus Macdonald, University of Edinburgh

Anthony Hunt and his office Anthony HuntAssociates (AHA) for nearly forty years haveproduced structural engineering that iscelebrated for its visual quality and combinedwith considerable technical elegance.

This book examines the contribution that TonyHunt has made to the development of Britisharchitecture, including his work with four ofBritain’s most prominent architects – Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Michael Hopkins and NicolasGrimshaw. His interest in the visual aspects of structural design have allowed him to form fruitfulpartnerships with these and other leading architects and to contribute significantly to thedevelopment of the architecture of High Tech Modernism, in which structural expression has played amajor visual and architectural role.

Peter RiceAndré Brown, Liverpool University

Known for his work on major projects such asthe Centre Pompidou, Sydney Opera House andLloyds Building, Peter Rice receivedinternational acclaim as one of the greatengineers of the 20th Century.

His collaborations with some of the leadingarchitects of our time, including Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Frei Otto, I. M. Pei, Norman Foster andBernard Tschumi, have created memorable landmark structures that are justifiably famous for theirstyle and innovation.

Peter Rice adopted a fresh approach for each project, calculated to produce the best possiblebuilding, always with respect for the role of the architect. Throughout his career, this methodresulted in an inspirational body of innovative work.

The book begins with an examination of key ideas, themes and influences, and then moves on toconsider specific projects and typologies. Peter Rice believed it was crucial to change the commonperception of the engineer’s role in the design process. A belief that is highly relevant today.

Heinz IslerJohn Chilton, University of Nottingham

Best known for his amazing free-form shellstructures, Heinz Isler has inspired both architectsand engineers with his dazzling creations. His worktranscends the definition of mere structuralengineering to the extent of becoming structural art.This book considers the unique work, influences andtechniques of this exceptional engineer.

Isler’s primary medium of expression is thereinforced concrete shell. Rejecting the use ofmathematical formulae, he approached thechallenges of each new structure by usingphysical modelling to determine the form andsubsequently to investigate its stability.Harmonious, natural and inspiring structures arethe result. Isler’s sensitivity for the natural worldis expressed in the quiet beauty of the shell formsthat he has designed, which merge more easilyinto the landscape than most modern buildings.He creates structures of high efficiency with thelowest possible environmental impact.

Eladio DiesteRemo Pedreschi, University of Edinburgh

Eladio Dieste was an innovative engineer, betterknown in architectural circles for his design ofbeautiful and apparently improbable soaringstructures that appear to defy gravity. His works,however is based on ‘the application of the laws ofphysics’ and demonstrates such technical skillthat they blur the boundary between architectureand engineering.

Dieste’s use of traditional construction materialssuch as brickwork shares innovations with othersworking in more modern materials. It examinesthe structural forms he developed and analysesselected key projects. The author also includes achapter describing projects throughout Europe inwhich Dieste’s ideas and techniques have beenadapted and applied. His belief that architecture,form and expression are inseparable fromeconomics, construction and structural efficiencyled him to develop a new language of building,that is particularly relevant today.

Advanced StructuralMechanics2nd EditionDavid Johnson, Nottingham Trent University

In recent years an increasing emphasis has beenplaced on numerically based methods of structuralanalysis. This has been reflected in the productionof structural mechanics texts that are orientatedtowards particular numerical methodologies,especially the finite element method. While thisapproach serves the needs of potential ‘research’engineers, a concentration on the numericalanalysis aspects of structural mechanics is of lessrelevance to ‘professional’ engineers, who are likelyto be concerned with the use and interpretation ofnumerical analyses, but not in the development ofthe methodologies.

It is to this group that this book is especiallyaddressed, offering a broad introduction to theprincipal themes of continuum mechanics andstructural dynamics. This edition of the popularbook includes a greater focus on worked examples,problems and solutions to engage the reader.

Energy Methods inStructural MechanicsFederico Guarracino, University of Napoli andAlastair Walker, Consulting Engineer

This book provides a basic and clear introduction tothe principles underlying finite elements and thecomputer-based methods of the analysis ofstructures commonly used in industry.

The analysis principles developed in this book arefounded on a few fundamental energy theoremsand show how they can be used to provide practicalanalyses methods. The development presents auniform yet consistent approach in which thereader is introduced, through variational principles,

to the equilibrium equations for beams, plates andthe initial buckling of struts. The book emphasisesthe alternative approach of solving practicalproblems through the minimisation of energyfunctionals by means of trial functions forapproximate analysis.

Nicholas Cook, Anemos Ltd

1999 (Revised 2002) Paperbound 150pp

230 x 156 mm 0 7277 2755 9 £42.50

All buildings in the UK must now adhere to therecently published wind code BS 6399-2. Theintroduction of a new code is often traumatic,especially so in this case, as the previous code hasbeen in place for 25 years.

The author’s considerable practical knowledge ofwind engineering, together with his involvement indrafting this standard and his experience inconducting workshops on this subject make himthe ideal person to convey the strengths andweaknesses of BS 6399-2 in this guide. Followingrecent amendments to BS 6399-2 (2002) thispopular guide has been revised.

Designers’ most common questions and problemsare addressed in this guide along with detaileddesign guidance for estimating wind loads to thenew code. Wind Loading sets out clearly why thechanges to the code were necessary and in whatcontext the changes will increase or decreaseloads, as well as providing clear practical guidanceon the provisions of the code and giving assistancein the form of realistic worked examples.

Acoustics of Long SpacesTheory and design practice

Jian Kang, University of Sheffield

Acoustics is a major concern in many long spaces,such as road or railway tunnels,underground/railway stations, corridors,concourses and urban streets. The specificproblems of such irregularly shaped spaces,ranging from noise pollution in streets and tunnelsto poor speech intelligibility of public addresssystems in railway stations, are not dealt with byclassic room acoustic theory.

This state-of-the-art exposition presents thefundamentals of acoustic theory and calculationformulae for long spaces as well as givingguidelines for practical design with extensivelyillustrated work.

Beginning with a description of fundamentalconcepts, basic theories and modelling techniquesrelating to general room acoustics, the book moveson to theories and computer models for long spaces.Chapters on long enclosures and urban streets basedon parametric studies using the theoretical/computermodels, are followed by a description of a series ofphysical scale-model measurements on theeffectiveness of strategic architectural acoustictreatments. Design guidelines are presented with alarge number of illustrations. The book concludes witha discussion of speech intelligibility in longenclosures based on a series of articulation tests.

This book will be essential reading for thoseinvolved with a large range of disciplines –architecture, urban planning, building services,civil engineering, environmental engineering,transport engineering, mechanical engineering andelectrical engineering.

Energy and EnvironmentalIssues for the PractisingArchitectA guide to help at the initial design stage

Professor Ian Ward, University of Sheffield

Producing an energy efficient and environmentallyfriendly building can be a daunting task for the everyday architect, who may only be commissionedinfrequently to produce such a building. This bookremoves the mystery and complexity from thisprocess by helping the architect understand and putinto practice the many issues involved in generatingan energy efficient and environmentally friendlydesign. It is not intended to be a technical manual onenergy issues, rather it gives an overview of, andpractical advice on how to implement the wide rangeof topics that must be addressed at the early stagesin the design process.

The book is divided into three main sections. Thefirst deals with the background to energy andenvironmental issues and why it is important toconsider them in building design. The secondsection explains how the various design elementscan affect the overall performance of the building.This section is written so that an architect willobtain sufficient understanding of the various areaswithout the need to have a deep technicalunderstanding of them. The third section takes thearchitect through the initial design processpresenting simplified methods and rules of thumbsolutions for assessing the impact of each designissue on the likely performance of the building.Finally several case studies of a range of buildingsfrom the UK, Switzerland, Germany and France showhow it is possible to produce such buildings withinnormally accepted design parameters and costyardsticks.

The book is aimed at anyone who has an interest inthe design and procurement of buildings. Inparticular to the practicing architect and studentsof architecture along with those studying orpracticing in design related fields.

Conceptual Structural DesignBridging the gap between architects andengineersOlga Popovic Larsen and Andy Tyas, University ofSheffield

This book aims to ‘bridge the gap’ betweenengineers’ and architects’ understanding ofstructural form. It aims to inspire designers todevelop innovative and viable structural forms.

This book is presented in two parts. The first part istheoretical and investigates source of inspirationfor developing structural form; learning fromnatural forms; applying our own intuition; seekinginspiration from precedents; applyingunderstanding of structural principles; anddeveloping design through physical models.

The second part is presented through four casestudies. They include the Chelsea Flower ShowPavilion by Sara Wigglesworth Architects and JaneWernick Associates, the Eden Project by NicholasGrimshaw Architects and Anthony Hunt Associates,the glass structures by Dirk Jan Postel and RobertNijsse and the Dutch Expo 2000 Pavilion by MVRDVArchitects and ABT consulting engineers. The casestudies all have in common that the imaginativestructural forms are in harmony with thearchitectural concept and, at the same time,present very efficient solutions to technical andstructural problems. Conceptual structural designis essential reading for architects and engineering,and for anyone interested in conceptual structuraldesign.

The Architecture of theJubilee Line Extension David Bennett, David Bennett Associates

David Bennett’s latest book focuses on the fusionof innovative architecture and engineering onLondon Underground’s Jubilee Line Extension. Thebook highlights the complexity of the engineeringinvolved and the difficulties of creatingarchitecture in reverse (a building as a hole in theground with no elevation and with problems of lightand entrance).

Based on interviews with the architects,contractors and engineers involved on the project,each station is introduced in turn, highlighting thedesign conception and constructional issues. Thebook is prefaced with a brief overview of the historyof the tube network and the innovation in the waythat the new stations were commissioned, and isillustrated throughout with Dennis Gilbert’sstunning black and white photography.

Computer IntegratedPlanning and Design forConstructionDavid Langford, University of Strathclyde andArkady Retik, Glasgow Caledonian University

This book is about the intelligent application ofadvanced information technology tools (such asCAD and KBES) to design and planning inconstruction. It considers the current applicationsof computer tools and presents new ideas for theuse of these tools in design and planningprocesses, concentrating on a preliminary designstage.

The main aim of this text is to demonstrate theimplementation of these ideas and uncover theextraordinary opportunities for designimprovement as a result. An important feature ofthis book is its relevance to the work of allparticipants in the design of buildings – fromarchitects to quantity surveyors. Another usefulfeature is its use of clear engineering language.

The book is organised into four parts:

■ Part 1 – Covers the background to informationtechnology in construction with a discussion ofa wide range of applications to the technicaland informational environments. Issues suchas databases and interactive computergraphics, Geographic Information Systems andtheir uses and artificial intelligence areincluded.

■ Part 2 – Refines this to present specificapplications of IT for construction projects. Inparticular computer applications to planningand scheduling, visualisation and concurrentengineering are aired.

■ Part 3 – Explores the business uses of IT. Howcomputing may be used to support strategicmanagement in construction firms is central tothis section.

■ Part 4 – Provides a number of case studies ofhow IT has shaped business processes inconstruction firms. A glossary of key terms isalso included.

ICE GUIDES

ICE DESIGN AND PRACTICE GUIDESICE Design and Practice Guides, produced by the Institution of Civil Engineers, provide an introduction to key subjects of interest to engineers. They includediscussion of the most important issues, an outline of the main principles involved, checklists, and guidance on authoritative and up-to-date sources of moredetailed information. They are suitable for practising civil engineers who have limited experience in a particular area and for more experienced engineers whorequire an overview of the subject.

Concrete ReinforcementCorrosion

This addition to the ICE’s Design and PracticeGuides has been written by renowned expert PeterPullar-Strecker. Drawing on his broad experience inpractice and as a trainer, this Guide tacklesconcrete reinforcement corrosion at a level thatwill allow the reader to make quick assessmentsand plan for the appropriate repair outcomes. Itcovers such important areas as corrosion of steelin concrete and repair. Further, it takes the readerfrom the initial investigation and testing ofconcrete structures, through checklists to detailedstructural investigation.

The format follows the popular approach of theseries and offers a practical introductory angle tothe subject for those with an engineeringbackground. It will be an essential first referencefor all levels working in this field.

Dynamics2nd edition

The second edition of this best-selling Guideprovides civil and structural engineers withintroductory information on all the main principlesand important aspects of the subject. The guide is

particularly relevant to civil engineers approachingchartered status but will also be useful to anyengineer requiring a concise overview of thesubject. It answers the key questions: What isdynamics? Why do engineers need to know aboutit? and how are dynamics accommodated in theengineering design and checking processes?

Dynamics begins with the basic theory underlyingdynamics and moves on to consider what theacceptance criteria are in cases where dynamicloading is significant. It then examines a broadrange of dynamic loading that may be significantin many design situations and concludes withillustrative examples, references and a selectedlist of codes and standards. The Guide has beenupdated to include recent developments in the fieldof dynamics based on the London MillenniumFootbridge, long-span floors and new stadia.

FRP CompositesLife extension and strengthening of metallicstructures

Carbon fibre reinforced composites have been usedfor many years in the aircraft and shipbuildingindustries. They are now being used in a variety ofconstruction applications where their light-weight,high strength and stiffness make themcosteffective.

This is particularly the case in the repair andrehabilitation of existing infrastructure. This titleprovides design guidance for the use of carbonfibre reinforced composites, based on the resultsof two major government-funded programmes. Itdemonstrates that carbon fibre composites can beused with confidence in structural applications.Guidance is given on short and long-term behaviourand how this can be interpreted in a designsituation. The case studies, which include projectson the London Underground system, alongsidecontributions from industry and research groups,make this book a useful resource for structuralengineers.

Concrete Industrial GroundFloors2nd Edition

This guide describes the requirements of industryfor high-quality floors and relates these to theengineering solutions adopted as current workingpractice. The design theory, construction techniquesand management of floor-slab construction projectsare presented to provide engineers with a broadunderstanding of the central principles of modernconcrete ground floor construction.

Following the success of the 1996 publication, thissecond edition has been extensively revised toaddress the influence of the many subsequentdevelopments in materials, specification,components and site applications. Many of thesedevelopments raise issues of mutual compatibility.The guide describes these and identifies principlesby which many common problems can be avoided.

Structural Appraisal of IronFramed Textile Mills

This guide begins with a broad overview of millbuilding structures and their development and thenmoves on to discuss measures that may be neededto ensure compliance with modern BuildingRegulations. Evidence is presented to show thatthe robustness of these old buildings must beassessed carefully and guidance is given on howrobustness may be improved.

Springing from the work of the IntegratedCollaborative Design (ICD) research project, acombined industry and academic initiative betweenLoughborough University and twelve constructioncompanies, it presents a set of key principles andpractices that provide a new approach to designmanagement – the design chain. Design Chainsdescribes how design can be understood, managedand optimised to add value to clients. The practicesdeveloped through ICD and described in this bookprovide a timely response to the need to managedesign complexity to help collaboratingorganisations deliver projects that meet client needs.

The benefits of an ICD approach include:

■ creating business level frameworks fororganisations to collaborate for mutual benefiton projects

■ aiding understanding of design informationflows

■ helping organisations align their business andproject competencies and business cultures

■ promoting value adding design solutions onprojects

■ providing a selection of tools to integrateprocesses across organisations at the levels ofthe business and project

With the introduction of waste legislation, in theform of regulations anddirectives, in many partsof the world a significantmove towardssustainable wastemanagement isbecoming a legalrequirement. Emphasisis now being placed onincreasing recycling andpromoting moresustainable waste

management practices, and greater co-ordinationbetween the public, private and independentsectors, and all concerned with the management ofwaste and reusable materials. However, sustainablewaste management entails complex technological,environmental, social, cultural and economic issues.This, together with technological advances inrecycling, means the waste sector is facingenormous challenges in developing suitable wastemanagement and recycling strategies. It istherefore necessary to share and explore existingexpertise; to review and discuss the challenges inorder to identify opportunities for improving wastemanagement and recycling and promotingsustainable resource use.

The three volumes from part of the Proceedings ofthe two-day International Conference organised bythe Concrete and Masonry Research Group withinthe School of Engineering at Kingston University,held in September 2004. The Conference deals withissues such as the regulatory framework,government policy, waste management,processing, recovery, the supply network, recyclingopportunities, sustainable ways forward and theeconomics of sustainability.

The Repair of HistoricTimber StructuresDavid Yeomans


230 x 156 mm 0 7277 3213 7 £35.00

Intended for a wide audience, including carpenters,architects and structural engineers dealing with therepair and restoration of historic timber structures,this book takes a practical approach. It deals withtwo types of structure, the oak-framed buildingsdating from the Middle Ages (which still survive insome numbers), and the timber elements ofmasonry buildings from the late seventeenthcentury. It considers the materials used and thecarpentry techniques employed and provides aqualitative account of their structural behaviour.

It then provides a simple analysis of typicalstructures to show the kinds of stresses that mightbe encountered. The view taken is that simplemethods are more appropriate than the use ofmodern analytical programmes, given theuncertain member and joint properties. Methods ofrepair are then discussed and a brief guide is alsoprovided to the survey of historic buildingscontaining these structures.

Appraisal and Repair ofTimber StructuresPeter Ross, Ove Arup Partnership

Timber is one of the oldest of man’s buildingmaterials, but because the building scene today isdominated by concrete and steel, many designersare unfamiliar with the properties of timber and itsstructural vocabulary.

This new book begins with an extendedintroduction to timber as a building material: itsvarious forms and properties, its response toenvironmental conditions, and the BuildingRegulations relating to its use. It goes on to followthe general sequence of work, starting with thecommission, and then dealing with the survey, theinvestigation and the appraisal. The appraisal,where the most appropriate form of remedial workis selected, is the pivotal point - chapters follow onrepair options, report and specification writing, andthe additional factors which have to be taken intoaccount when dealing with historic buildings. The

book also includes case studies, which discusstimber in relation to other structural materials, asbuildings made entirely of timber are very rare.

Appraisal and Repair of Timber Structures will beessential reading for all engineers who deal withtimber in structures, and will also be of interest toarchitects and surveyors who are faced withengineering issues in this area.

CONTENTS■ Introduction■ A history of building form■ The characteristics of timber■ Timber in the building environment■ Building legislation■ The commission■ The general diagnostic sequence■ Initial visual inspection■ The range of possible defects■ Investigative techniques■ The appraisal■ Timber repairs■ Historic buildings■ The report■ The repair contract■ The specification of timber for repair■ Moving timber frames■ Case histories

Has Your House Got Cracks?2nd EditionA homeowner’s guide to subsidence andheave damageT J Freeman, Geo-Serv Ltd, R M C Driscoll, BuildingResearch Establishment and G S Littlejohn,University of Bradford

“I recommend this publication tohomeowners as it provides avaluable insight into the nature ofbuilding subsidence and heave,and offers impartial and objectiveadvice to anyone who hasdiscovered cracks to his or herhouse. In short, it is essentialreading for anyone who is eithermaking a claim for damage or whois thinking about making a claim.”Tony Boorman,Principal Ombudsman (Insurance), FinancialOmbudsman Service

Over the years since the first edition waspublished, there has been a great deal of mediacoverage on the subject of subsidence and acorresponding increase in awareness amongsthomeowners.

Unfortunately, recent trends suggest that thisincreased awareness has encouraged somehomeowners to report minor damage thatpreviously would have been dealt with by routinemaintenance and decoration. In many cases, theresulting insurance claim leads to expensive andunnecessary remedial work being carried out. Atthe same time there are still cases where the earlysigns of significant subsidence are not recognisedand the homeowner is incorrectly advised aboutthe need for remedial measures. Both trendsultimately increase the costs for insurers and theinconvenience for policyholders. Making the correctassessment of the cause of the damage at an earlystage and keeping the homeowner properlyinformed are the key to handling subsidenceclaims successfully.

The purpose of this guide is to explain in simpleterms why properties suffer subsidence and heavedamage and to offer some independent andobjective advice on how the damage should beinvestigated and how it should be decided whetheror not underpinning is required. It is hoped that inthe fullness of time, a better understanding of thesubject will result in a more rational approach tosubsidence and heave damage, which will bereflected in lower insurance premiums and lessaggravation for the buyers and sellers of propertiesthat have suffered minor damage.

Guide to Deterioration andFailure of Building MaterialsEdited by R O Heckroodt, University of Cape Town

Designers’ Guide to EN1997 –1 Eurocode 7:Geotechnical Design –General RulesR Frank, C Bauduin, R Driscoll, M Kavvadas, N Krebs Ovesen, T Orr and B Schuppener

Designers’ Guide to EN 1997 –1 Eurocode 7:Geotechnical design – General rules presents adetailed guide to the new Geotechnical DesignEurocode. As such it gives an invaluable insightinto a code that, for the first time, provides acomprehensive design philosophy that is not onlyapplicable to all forms of geotechnical problems butalso shares a common philosophy with the designmethodology for structures of all the commonly-encountered construction materials.

Throughout, the book describes and explains themany unique features of ground engineering thatrequire special design attention to ensure safety andadequate performance. Comprehensive checklists ofaspects to be considered in design are given inEurocode 7 and are emphasised in this book.

This Designers’ Guide contains comprehensiveworked examples covering the determination ofcharacteristic values and application of Eurocode 7for the design of spread foundations, pile foundations,anchorages, retaining structures and the design foroverall stability. It explains how these geotechnicaldesigns satisfy the requirements for structuraldesign using the other material Eurocodes.

Designers' Guide to EN1993-1.1 Eurocode 3:Design of steel structuresgeneral rules for buildingsL Gardner and D A Nethercote

After some 25 years in preparation the key parts ofEN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structureshave now been finalised. Designers’ Guide to EN1993-1.1 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structuresgeneral rules for buildings covers many forms ofsteel construction and provides the mostcomprehensive and up-to-date set of designguidance currently available.

Throughout, this book concentrates on the mostcommonly encountered aspects of structural steeldesign, with an emphasis on the situation inbuildings. Much of its content is therefore devotedto the provisions of the Part 1.1: General rules andrules for buildings of EN 1993. This is, however,supplemented by material on loading, joints andcold-formed design. For each of the principalaspects covered, the book provides background tothe structural behaviour, explanation of the codifiedtreatment including departure from existingpractice (BS 5950), and numerous workedexamples. This Guide should serve as the primarypoint of reference for designing steel structures toEurocode 3.

Sustainable ConstructionUse of incinerator ashEdited by R K Dhir, T D Dyer and K A Paine,University of Dundee


230 x 156 mm 0 7277 2861 X £60.00

Opportunities for developing sustainableutilisation are becoming increasinglyadvantageous, and the recovery of maximumvalue waste materials is a key concern in thisprocess. One of the most effective approaches tovalue recovery is through the generation of heatand power from waste incineration. Whilst thebenefits of incineration are significant, disposal ofthe ash generated is the main difficulty tojustifying this process as a wholly sustainablewaste management solution.

This is the Proceedings of the major internationalworkshop that took place at the University ofDundee during March 2000. Papers are included byexperts in the field of sustainable constructionshowing the latest developments in the processingand use of incinerator ash in the constructionindustry.

Recycling and Reuse of Sewage SludgeRavindra K Dhir, Mukesh C Limbachiya and Michael J McCarthy, University of Dundee

Varying degrees of environmental impact bysewage sludge disposal alternatives, presentchallenges for waste management practice andpolicy. Many regulating bodies throughout theworld are implementing measures that activelypromote environmentally sound and economicallyviable routes to convert this waste into a valuableresource. These provide opportunities, but at thesame time, given the nature of the material andobstacles that may exist, require that responsibleand proven practices is followed.

This book presents the proceedings of anInternational Symposium organised by theConcrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee,which brings together some of the world’s leadingexperts in the field of sewage sludge recycling.

The ‘Designers’ Guides tothe Eurocodes’ is a very importantstep in the process, and shouldfacilitate a fast and effectivetransition to the full andsuccessful adoption of the world’sleading construction designstandards in the UK and wider. Icommend them.”David W Lazenby CBEDirector – British Standards, BSIChairman of CEN/TC 250 “The Structural Eurocodes”1991 - 1999

Designers’ Guide to EN 1990: Basis of StructuralDesign is considered the primary document in theEurocode suite and establishes for the structuralEurocodes the principles and requirements forsafety and serviceability of structures. Moreimportantly, EN 1990 must be applied wheneverthe Eurocodes 1 to 9 are used.

This Designers’ Guide is one of the first to providedetailed information for using EN 1990. It providestechnical information on the background to theEurocode and explains its relationship to Eurocode1: Actions on Structures and the materialEurocodes (2-6 and 9), Eurocode 7 for geotechnicaldesign and Eurocode 8 for seismic design.

The background to the principles and rules isdiscussed, emphasising the rules which differ fromthose in existing codes. Worked examples illustratethe use of new procedures.

This guide will be essential reading for all thoseaffected by the introduction of the Eurocodes -especially:

■ civil and structural engineers

■ clients

■ code-drafting committees

■ public authorities

This Guide will prove an invaluable resource forstudents studying structural design.
