In a historical survey this video shows the developments of movable bridge technology, always in relationship to the equilibrium between the movable deck and the counterweight. Highlights the four modern...
Surveys the problems encountered in designing a plate girder bridge in steel. Discusses basic concepts and considers the strength of materials, stability, fatigue and additional stresses.
A view of an exhibition of the work of Santiago Calatrava at the RIBA in late 1992, and a recording of Calatrava in conversation with British architect Denis Sharp. Calatrava is an architect and engineer who...
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...
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...
1: Describes how the principles of Newtonian mechanics are used to reconstruct traffic accidents from the debris and marks on the road. Shows how speeds of vehicles were calculated using momentum exchange,...
As part of the Transport and Road Research Laboratory’s work enabling highway authorities to ensure that post-tensioned concrete bridges remain servicexs, load tests were carried out using a specially...
