This documentary looks at some of the most famous bridges in the world and, with the help of a team of experts and the use of archive footage, shows how they were built and how they remain upright. Amongst...
EUscreen, the pan-European aggregator of audiovisual heritage for Europeana, is inviting collection managers and legal experts to participate in a survey about online access to audiovisual collections. The...
Shows load tests taken to collapse on eight brick and masonry arch bridges. The tests were carried out in order to study failure loads and modes of collapse of arch bridges, and thus to provide data for...
Shows civil engineering students designing, building and testing bridges made of spaghetti. The materials may be novel but the lessons are the same as for conventional materials and full-size structural...
Strong materials are required to make bridges, and wood or stone were replaced by iron as large blast furnaces came along. The superior tensile properties of iron allowed bridge builders to use new designs,...
The evolution of the bridge from stepping stones to large span concrete suspension bridges is discussed in relation to the engineering principles and to the materials available for construction. This largely...
Uses animation to recreate Leonard Euler’s analysis of the problem of crossing the bridges of Königsberg in a single continuous walk.
Thomas Telford was a master of stone and iron in the construction of roads bridges, canals, aqueducts and harbours. The site between Anglesey and the Mainland was difficult and dangerous. His design for a...
Looks at new engineering techniques that have led to innovations in bridge construction. Engineers can now measure more precisely aspects of structure and loading.
Traces the history of the Floating Bridge which, until the middle of 1977, crossed the River Itchen between Southampton and Woolston. It has now been replaced by a fixed bridge. Describes how the bridge...
