Advanced Mechanics of Solids and Structures

Provides a definitive guide to the design, evolution, and practical application of Scherzer rolling lift bridges Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice: Historical Foundations and Modern Application&nbsp;addresses a critical gap in contemporary bridge engineering literature by offering both a historical framework and a modern technical guide to Scherzer rolling lift bridges. For engineers tasked with designing resilient, movable structures that accommodate growing transportation demands, this authoritative book delivers the essential understanding to integrate proven mechanisms with today's performance expectations. Author Jeffrey Routson traces the lineage of the Scherzer rolling lift bridge from its origins, through its technological evolution, and up to its current role in infrastructure development. Routson's analysis details how these bridges have adapted to advancements in materials, mechanical systems, and aesthetics while maintaining the integrity of Scherzer's original concept. In-depth chapters discuss the integration of rolling lift systems with modern technologies, clarify design codes and standards relevant to movable bridge construction and rehabilitation, provide clear technical guidance on optimizing components and assessing and retrofitting aging bridges, and much more. Empowering bridge and structural engineers to apply time-tested principles with confidence in a present-day context, Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice: <ul> <li>Provides an annotated inventory of more than 500 bridges worldwide</li> <li>Features over 70 technical diagrams and photos illustrating bridge components, movement mechanisms, and structural systems of both early and contemporary Scherzer rolling lift bridge designs</li> <li>Includes examples of recent projects showcasing sustainability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness</li> <li>Offers a detailed explanation of kinetic and structural performance factors unique to rolling lift bridges</li> <li>Clarifies technical misunderstandings and historical facts related to these bridges and their engineers</li> </ul> Supplying original engineering insights from the author's experience with award-winning bascule bridge projects, Rolling Lift Bridges in Practice: Historical Foundations and Modern Application is ideal for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in structural engineering, bridge design, or transportation infrastructure, particularly within civil engineering degree programs. It is also an invaluable reference for professional bridge engineers, infrastructure planners, historians, and consulting firms involved in movable bridge projects.

Geotechnical Engineering for Environmental Engineers

Designers seek moments of creative bliss when everything aligns, stress dissolves, and decisions flow effortlessly. These 'in the zone' experiences keep creatives inspired. This book uncovers the dynamic nature of the design process, shedding light on the various modes of thinking that shape creative work.The design process is often taught through a linear framework: define the problem, do the research, generate ideas, prototype, test, and refine. This structure offers a shared language across disciplines-from architecture to fashion design-providing a roadmap for clarity and progress. However, as any practicing designer knows, the real process is far more fluid. With time and experience, designers learn to embrace the nonlinear nature of their work. Iteration becomes second nature, and space is made for unexpected, creative leaps-spontaneous breakthroughs where new connections emerge. These moments arise from the intersection of conscious and unconscious thought, resulting in surprising and powerful ideas. Within this intersection, the 'beautiful mess' of the designer's natural state emerges. This mess isn't disorder-it's the dynamic interplay between structured methods and spontaneous inspiration, revealing the fascinating tangle of creative thinking. This book celebrates that vibrant, messy process. Through rich photography of everyday studios and thoughtful conversations with artists, designers, and makers from across disciplines, it offers an intimate glimpse into how ideas are formed and refined. Whether you're a student, an emerging creative, or an experienced practitioner, this book invites you to recognize-and embrace-the unique nature of your own design journey, and find inspiration in the glorious chaos of making.

Into the Beautiful Mess

Discovering the Design Process

Forensic Engineering for Academia

This survey of lightweight specialty structures provides in-depth case studies supplemented with technical guidance and an overview of fundamental theories.Drawing on almost 75 years of combined professional and academic experience, the authors guide readers through design of lightweight systems: spaceframes, grid shells, cable nets, ETFE membranes, rails, stairs, and canopies. Each chapter provides an overview of the evolution of each system and provides technical references for further study. Images, details and calculations from 18 actual projects showcase the process of design and the importance of close collaboration among all members of the project team. These case studies include discussion of design intent, analysis methods, architectural constraints, detailing, fabrication, and construction methods. Because lightweight structures blur the lines between architecture, engineering and fabrication, care is taken to share key lessons learned from over half a century of firsthand design. These topics can be highly technical and broadly extensive, and this book serves as a tractable introduction for designers.Written for structural architecture students and early career professionals, this book is an essential introduction to the fundamentals of each lightweight structural system.

Written by scholars and activists, Atlas of Green Energy Transitions: Frontiers of Power, Conflict, and Possibilities employs immersive first-person narrative descriptions and rich imagery to tell the oft-revealing stories of contestation, exploitation, and complication within the landscapes upon which the world's green energy transition depends: the unsanctioned cobalt mines of the Congo, the solar farms clearing vast tracts of the Mojave Desert, the scattered e-waste operations of Zimbabwe, among others. Organized around the global supply chain, each chapter traces an abiotic protagonist from extraction to consumption, exploring the ecological and cultural contexts of its use in renewable energy technologies.In response to these stories, counternarratives propose alternatives to silver-bullet ecomodernism, advocating for just practices and reciprocal relationships with our host landscapes. Grounded in the specificity of place, the collection heightens awareness of land relations and global interconnection. It not only engages with the urgent realities of the energy transition but also showcases landscape architecture's unique ability to visualize environmental challenges, prompt interdisciplinary action, and imagine transformative futures. The book targets an audience of students and practitioners of the built environment while seeking to inspire the inner designer in all readers.

This third edition of Designing Tall Buildings is an enhanced and accessible reference that guides the reader through the fundamental principles of designing high-rise buildings.This new edition includes four new chapters, including initial concepts for tall building design, techniques for optimization, considerations for carbon and the use of alternative materials such as timber. The third edition also includes 300 additional illustrations, and current code requirements and equations. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architectural and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, NAE, LEED, provides clear definitions of technical terms and important equations, gradually developing the reader's knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts. The book considers the influence of particular site geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. With this contextual knowledge, the reader can develop structural systems best suited for a tower that are not only safe, but constructible and economical. Sarkisian specifically addresses the influence of nature in design, urging the integration of structure and architecture for building of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.This third edition is a must-have reference for students and designers.
