Bridges:
The science and art of the world's most inspiring structures |
| |
by David Blockley |
| |
 |
| |
Aime at a general audience, Emeritus Professor at the University of Bristol, England, Blockley explains how bridges work structurally, using simple concepts to convey the complex workings of longspan structures. A little bit too much math for my taste, the book is appropriate for those with a strong interest in bridges and engineering. |
