Book excerpt: When does ambition to attain a noble goal demand too high a price - risking everything -- family, clan and even life? Such is the tale of Hasan Arslan: a captivating and turbulent saga set in 11th-century China's Song Dynasty. Hasan, a Gelolu Uyghur and master bow maker, strives to ascend the upper echelons of the Song Imperial Society. Despite the perils of assassination, political pitfalls, racial conflict, infidelity, deceit, and betrayal, he pursues his lofty goal. Will the jade Pixiu, a mythical being with the head of a dragon and the body of a lion, bestowed upon his grandfather by Emperor Taizong, protect Hasan and bring prosperity to his family? When all the Arslan men engage in warfare to fend off Tangut and Jurchen invaders, can two generations of women—Layla, Melod, and Pendo—forge a path to success through their House of Arslan Armory? Escaping Jurchen marauders to a foreign land, Manola and Meimei, the granddaughters, upheave norms of race and culture in their pursuit of stability and wealth. Will their efforts lead to further disaster or uncover fabulous riches?

Book Synopsis Full-depth Shear-key Performance in Adjacent Prestressed-beam Bridges by : Jyotirmay Lall
Download or read book Full-depth Shear-key Performance in Adjacent Prestressed-beam Bridges written by Jyotirmay Lall and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridge decks supported by adjacent precast/prestressed-concrete beams have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ease of construction, shallow superstructure, and aesthetic appeal. In New York, such structures are built by placing a number of precast beams alongside one another and connecting them through grouted keyways called "shear keys". After the grout hardens, the beams are transversely post-tensioned and a composite, cast-in-place deck is poured over them. Before 1992, field inspection personnel frequently reported the appearance of longitudinal deck cracking over these partial-depth shear keys soon after construction. In response, a new system using full-depth shear keys with more transverse tendons was adopted in 1992. Since then, more than 100 such bridges have been built statewide. To evaluate their performance, a followup inspection survey was conducted in 1996 on 91 such bridges.

Download or read book Route 66 Crossings written by Jim Ross and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Route 66 is a beloved and much studied symbol of twentieth-century America. But until now, no book has focused on the bridges that spanned the rivers, creeks, arroyos, and railroads between Chicago and Santa Monica. In this handsome volume, Route 66 authority and veteran writer and photographer Jim Ross examines the origins and history of the bridges of America’s most famous highway, structures designed to overcome obstacles to travel, many of them engineered with architectural aesthetics now lost to time. Featuring hundreds of Ross's own photographs, Route 66 Crossings showcases bridges ranging in design from timber to steel and concrete, and provides schematics, maps, and global coordinates to help readers identify and locate them. Ross’s comprehensive accounting of structures along the Mother Road’s various alignments includes bridges still in use, those that have vanished or have been abandoned, and the few consciously preserved as monuments. He also recognizes ancillary structures that enhanced safety and helped facilitate traffic, such as railway grade separations, tunnels, and pedestrian underpasses. Ross seeks to encourage ongoing preservation of the structures that remain. In brilliant color and precise detail, Route 66 Crossings expands our knowledge of the bridges that linked America’s first all-weather national highway.

Book Synopsis Plate-Girder Railway Bridges (Classic Reprint) by : Maurice Fitzmaurice
Download or read book Plate-Girder Railway Bridges (Classic Reprint) written by Maurice Fitzmaurice and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plate-Girder Railway Bridges The great majority of bridges on a line of railway are short-span plate-girder bridges. This book is intended to help those young engineers who, joining an engineers office for the first time, find themselves engaged in this class of work. All complicated calculations have been avoided and the object in view has been to help the student or pupil to design a bridge of this kind efficiently, cheaply, simply, and in accordance with modern practice. The theoretical knowledge required is small, and an attempt has been made not to enlarge on this part of the subject more than absolutely necessary. Practical details with regard to construction and erection, together with particulars of market sizes of plates, &c., have been given as far as possible. A chapter has been given to specifications for steel and iron, and to some notes on the treatment of these metals in the manufacture of bridge work, accompanied by some remarks on the working stresses to be adopted in these materials.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Post-tension Strengthened Steel Girder Bridge Using FRP Bars by : Terry J. Wipf
Download or read book Evaluation of Post-tension Strengthened Steel Girder Bridge Using FRP Bars written by Terry J. Wipf and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many state, county, and local agencies are faced with deteriorating bridge infrastructure composed of a large percentage of relatively short to medium span bridges. In many cases, these older structures are rolled or welded longitudinal steel stringers acting compositely with a reinforced concrete deck. Most of these bridges, although still in service, need some level of strengthening due to increases in legal live loads or loss of capacity due to deterioration. Although these bridges are overstressed in most instances, they do not warrant replacement; thus, structurally efficient but cost-effective means of strengthening needs to be employed. In the past, the use of bolted steel cover plates or angles was a common retrofit option for strengthening such bridges. However, the time and labor involved to attach such a strengthening system can sometimes be prohibitive. This project was funded through the Federal Highway Administration's Innovative Bridge Research and Construction program. The goal is to retrofit an existing structurally deficient, three-span continuous steel stringer bridge using an innovative technique that involves the application of post-tensioning forces; the post-tensioning forces were applied using fiber reinforced polymer post-tensioning bars. When compared to other strengthening methods, the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite materials is very appealing in that they are highly resistant to corrosion, have a low weight, and have a high tensile strength. Before the post-tensioning system was installed, a diagnostic load test was conducted on the subject bridge to establish a baseline behavior of the unstrengthened bridge. During the process of installing the post-tensioning hardware and stressing the system, both the bridge and the post-tensioning system were monitored. The installation of the hardware was followed by a follow-up diagnostic load test to assess the effectiveness of the post-tensioning strengthening system. Additional load tests were performed over a period of two years to identify any changes in the strengthening system with time. Laboratory testing of several typical carbon fiber reinforced polymer bar specimens was also conducted to more thoroughly understand their behavior. This report documents the design, installation, and field testing of the strengthening system and bridge.
