Chapter 1, The Early History of bridge Building--The Age of Timber and Stone; Chapter 2 A Pictorial History of Modern Bridge Building -- the last 200 Years; Chapter 3 What Makes a Bridge Stand Up; Chapter 4, Great Bridges--The Bridges of Destiny; Chapter 5 A Chapter of Disasters; Chapter 6 Bridges and Men; and Glossary and Further Information and Index. Few man-made structures can combine technical skill with aesthetic beauty in such an imaginative way as the bridge. From ancient times to the present day, bridges have been a focus for man's creativity and enterprise. This enthusiastic account of bridges describes their history, how they are constructed as well as taking a look at the great bridges around the world. Innovative bridge projects planned for the future are examined, along with the ultimate purpose of the bridge - function or art form. David Bennett is a chartered civil engineer who has written a number of publications on building and construction engineering, including the highly successful books Skyscraper, The Architecture of Bridge Design, Rollercoaster, and The Creation of Bridges. He is a construction marketing consultant and writes regularly for professional journals on civil engineering, building, and architecture. A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) without blocking the way underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs of bridges, each serving a particular purpose and applicable to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on factors such as the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, and the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge (dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese) is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use. Presumed first U.S. edition, first printing.
