Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a literature search, findings of a survey on the current state of historic bridge rehabilitation or replacement decision making by state and local transportation agencies, and nationally applicable decision-making guidelines for historic bridges. The guidelines are intended to be used as the protocol for defining when rehabilitation of historic bridges can be considered prudent and feasible and when it is not based on engineering and environmental data and judgments. The guidelines include identification of various approaches to bringing historic bridges into conformance with current design and safety guidelines/standards, and the effect or implications of remedial action on historical significance. There are currently no such nationally applicable decision-making guidelines, but there are a variety of state and local processes and policies for managing historic bridges. Effective practices for the various processes inform the nationally applicable guidelines. The guidelines are in narrative and matrix format.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like never before we are aware of the crucial place of bridges in our lives. The spans that warranted little notice are now at the forefront of public and political debate and we are reminded of the rich history-and the uncertain future-of bridging in Minnesota. Historian Denis P. Gardner documents and celebrates a wide range of the state’s rural and urban spans, telling the remarkable stories of their construction and impact on Minnesota life and culture. From Pratt trusses to bowstring arches, Wood, Concrete, Stone, and Steel describes nearly every bridge type found in Minnesota, including railroad spans, and features more than 225 illustrations of historical and extant bridges. Gardner details the development of engineering and construction innovations (complete with a guide to trusses) and traces the fascinating politics and personalities behind the task of creating and maintaining safe, and often beautiful, crossings. Through arresting photographs and lively narrative, Gardner makes a compelling argument for the value of preserving our bridges and the cultural heritage they carry and brings to life their importance in Minnesota’s past, present, and future. Denis P. Gardner is an award-winning historian who has documented properties for the National Register of Historic Places and the Historic American Engineering Record. He is the author of Minnesota Treasures: Stories behind the State’s Historic Places. Eric DeLony is former director of the Historic American Engineering Record.

Book excerpt: Everything you need to know to save an old historic, truss-style bridge. The chapters are full of practical things: Sometimes this advice is offered in essay form. More often it is presented as to-do lists. In fact, the book begins with a comprehensive checklist of everything you need to know before you get started on saving a bridge. It's all here. There are even job descriptions for volunteers and interview questions for professionals who will need to be brought into the process. Useful case studies abound. An appendix of truss-bridge types gives prospective bridge-savers a useful starting point, and forty-one photographs give them a vision of the goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studied by a team of experts in the fields of history, bridge engineering, architecture, and computer analysis were 21 old truss bridges of historical importance located in Virginia. These old bridges are narrow and have low load-carrying capacities, making them targets for replacement and destruction. On a case-by-case basis, the bridges were investigated as to their potentials for strengthening and widening for normal vehicular use. Also explored were non-vehicular uses as for conversion into craft centers, museums, restaurants, housing, bicycle structures, and the like, at either the present site or a new one. The wide array of possibilities for continued use of the old bridges described in this report show that old bridges do indeed have much useful life left in them and it is not always necessary that they be demolished.

Download or read book Best Practices for Historic Masonry Repair and Rehabilitation written by Ann B. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recently published update of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT’s) historic bridge management plan, A Management Plan for Historic Bridges in Virginia: The 2017 Update, noted a number of special considerations regarding stone masonry on VDOT’s historic bridges (i.e., those state-owned bridges that are individually eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places). Key considerations included the types of masonry work identified on management plan bridges; various types of repair and stabilization methods; and references to compatible mortars for use on bridges of older construction. The 2017 update of the historic bridge management plan also contained a fifth recommendation: conduct an in-depth historic masonry study and produce a best practices document identifying procedures for repair and/or rehabilitation of historic masonry structures and masonry components, particularly those on VDOT’s historic bridges. This study addressed that fifth recommendation. This study assembled data related to masonry in historic bridges, including archival documentary evidence, materials, and construction and repair technologies, and yielded a best practices document for facilitating appropriate management of VDOT’s historic bridges with stone masonry components. The study concluded that (1) historic bridges in Virginia with stone masonry construction exhibit a number of different forms, materials, building practices, and technologies that reflect the time periods when the bridges were built; (2) a variety of maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation practices have been used on these bridges; (3) best practices in historic preservation can evolve over time as additional information is acquired; and (4) knowledge of these various forms, materials, practices, and technologies, and the necessary specialized treatments required, must be taken into account when planning and undertaking maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation for the various types of stone masonry construction found in Virginia’s historic bridges. Using the most appropriate practices as outlined in this report may help avoid inappropriate repairs and damage to stone masonry elements. The study recommends that (1) the practices regarding bridge maintenance, repair, and historical documentation described in this report be used by VDOT structure and bridge engineers, environmental cultural resource personnel, and corresponding district staff; and (2) the information, including historical background, condition, and maintenance needs on specific bridges, included in this report be referenced in the forthcoming update of A Management Plan for Historic Bridges in Virginia (now in progress).

Download or read book Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan written by Charles K. Hyde and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan's historic highway bridges are rapidly being torn down and replaced as they deteriorate or become unable to support increased traffic volumes and loads. While the state has the responsibility of providing safe bridges, historian Charles K. Hyde maintains that the state must also preserve many of these remaining historic structures to insure that future generations will have them to view and appreciate. In Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan, Hyde identifies Michigan's historically significant highway bridges within the broader contexts of American bridge design and construction in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book summarizes the improvement of highway bridge design in the United States and compares Michigan's experiences with national trends. To aid the reader interested in visiting the historic highway bridges of Michigan, regional maps show the location of bridges included in the text.
