Usually ships in 6-9 business days | | | | | | Cable supported bridges in the form of suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges are distinguished by their ability to overcome large spans. This book concentrates on the synthesis of cable supported bridges covering both design and construction aspects. The analytical part covers simple methods to quantify the different structural forms and allows a preliminary optimization of the main structure. Completely revised and updated, this second edition is justified by an accelerated pace of innovation within this field of bridge technology. It includes the latest advancements in wind tunnel testing and results of computer analyses. Numerous halftones and figures supplement the text. | | | |

 FIVE STARS Sep 13, 1999
This is an awesome book on cable supported bridges. Even the most recently built bridges can be found in this book.

The most complete book on cable supported bridges Mar 20, 2001
If you work with cable-stay bridges or suspension bridges, this is the reference!. All the issues you'll find in your work are in the book . Prof. Gimsing is very clear and concise. Worth every buck you paid!

 not worth $ Jan 21, 1999
Too much theory; not enough complete, practical examples. The book is greatly overpriced.

Very helpful!!! Jul 03, 2006
By Frusta
I found this book cery useful, it is well organized and if you read it very carefully it is easy to understand. The equations presented to obtain preliminary dimensions are very useful and wuite accurate. Also provides the concepts to design the cables and verify the design of them. It also has a few basic examples and graphics that help in the understandig of the theory.
This book basically it is based in the design of the cables, how and why they work in the bridges. If you are looking to understand the concept of cable supported bridges and get the basic equations and recomendations for its design this is the book. However if you want a recipie for designing this kind of bridges and don't knowing why or how it works, good luck.

A great book for advanced readers Aug 09, 1999
This is an excellent book for bridge designers and engineers who want to know how and why cable supported structures work.The book is less suitable for those engineers (typically North American) who merely expect recipes ("tell me how to do it, not why or how it works").
