Description

Bridges shape landscapes and cities. They are structures of great value to society. Bridges almost always document what was technically feasible when they were built so they automatically testify to the mobility and materiality of that time. How have traffic and bridge construction developed since? Where is there further potential? »Engineers imagine« – this publication will qualify readers to make complex evaluations of bridges and inspire them to think about bridges and bridge construction in new ways. It features essays on their history, outlines special features of materials selection, describes design approaches, construction types and methods and possibilities for repair and restoration, and offers ideas for planning tomorrow’s infrastructure. Examples of impressive projects demonstrate how they can successfully encompass a range of aspects, including technology and architecture, science, knowledge and innovative solutions.

Description

From the monumental splendour of Tower Bridge and the august span at Westminster to the engineering masterpieces at Ironbridge and the Forth, bridges comprise some of the most recognisable landmarks in Britain. Whether the smallest arch or the largest overpass, each has a rich architectural, economic, social and sometimes even religious history. This beautifully illustrated introduction by Richard Hayman explains how piety built and maintained bridges in the Middle Ages; how economic forces inspired a new generation of road bridges in the eighteenth century, such as the Menai Bridge in North Wales, and how technological prowess gave us soaring Victorian railway viaducts and the concrete road bridges of the twentieth century.
