Emerald Publishing Limited Bridge Monitoring
Book SynopsisBridge Monitoring provides practical guidance on the monitoring of bridges, with a particular focus on the use of sensor technologies and bridge monitoring systems. As vital infrastructure assets, it is important that bridges are monitored effectively to ensure that they continue to be safe, operational and appropriately maintained.Bridge Monitoring: provides a new look at the reasons for, and possible outcomes from, monitoring bridges discusses how to specify and plan for the instalment of a monitoring system outlines recent developments in sensor technologies includes a selection of international bridge monitoring case studies. Part of a series of best practice guides written by experts at the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC), this book provides valuable information which will be useful to a range of stakeholders involved in the design, construction and management of bridges.

MP-FLO Uni Press of Florida Skyway
Book SynopsisOn the morning of May 9, 1980, during sudden violent weather, a 600-foot freighter struck a support pier of the fifteen-mile Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The main span splintered and collapsed 150 feet into Tampa Bay. Seven cars and a Greyhound bus fell over the broken edge and into the churning water below. Thirty-five people died. Skyway tells the entire story of this horrific event.

Springer Verlag, Singapore 70 Years of China’s Bridges
Book SynopsisThe book takes time as the axis, selecting 98 bridges (or bridge groups) across the country and 7 representative bridges out of the country, reflecting the steps and development of China's bridge construction in related majors and engineering technicians in colleges and universities. This book aims to let the general public understand the arduous history of China's bridge construction and the rapid development of China's bridge construction without the country's economic development, strength, and hard work of the bridge people. It is also hoped that the public will enjoy the convenience of bridges, highways, railroads, and urban roads and at the same time enhance their awareness of bridge knowledge, knowledge, love, and scientific use of bridges. This book is used by the general public to understand the development of China's bridge construction, but also as a reference book for teachers and students of bridge engineering-related majors and engineering technicians in colleges and universities.Table of ContentsChapter 1 The Origin and Development of Bridges.- Chapter 2 Using Foreign Experience for Reference and Laying a Foundation for Further Bridge Development.- Chapter 3 Taking Full Advantage of Local Materials and Innovating in Bridge Technology.- Chapter 4 Learning Advanced Technology and Starting Rising.- Chapter 5 Rapid Development and Becoming a World Power in the Number of Bridges. Chapter 6 Making Technological Breakthrough and Becoming a World Power in Bridge Technology.- Chapter 7 Entering Foreign Lands and Becoming Established on the World Stage.- Chapter 8 Looking Back at the Past whilst Looking Forward to the Future.

Michigan State University Press The Great Water: A Documentary History of
Book SynopsisMichigan’s location among the Great Lakes has positioned it at the crossroads of many worlds. Its first hunters arrived ten thousand years ago, its first farmers arrived about six thousand years after that, and three hundred years ago the French expanded into the territory.This book is a small sample of the words of Michigan’s people - a collection of stories, letters, diary entries, news reports, and other documents - that give personal insights into important aspects of Michigan’s history. Designed to provoke thought and discussion about Michigan’s past, the documents in this reader are expressions of past ideas, markers of change, and windows into the lives of the people who lived during well-known events in Michigan history.
