Plate Buckling in Bridges and Other Structures
A well-illustrated and comprehensive account of various aspects of local buckling in bridges, this book covers the theory and background of buckling, presenting simple design calculations which address this intriguing phenomenon. Attempts to master the process of buckling are described, citing both successes and failures. A number of failure case studies are presented, including five bridge collapses which occurred in a four-year-period between 1969 and 1973. Examining such failures provides valuable information about the phenomenon of buckling. The final section of this book presents easy-to-follow design examples which conform to the latest Eurocode.
