A Bridge to the Future
This report discusses how construction firms will in the future need to add value to their products and services in order to build and then maintain long-term and robust customer loyalty.
A Heuristic Model for Predicting Bridge Construction Requirements
Research is directed to formulating a bridge and resource requirements simulation model for use by program managers concerned with the ground lines-of-communication sector of the construction industry. Bridge alternatives are designed and selected to reduce the obstacle effect of the terrain such that commodities flow (traffic) along the line-of-communication (highway) is improved. The resulting tool provides a heuristic high-resolution model for policy testing and decision making in a highly dynamic system involving non-commensurable objectives such as cost, time and manpower. The problem of predicting bridge and resource requirements is defined through a systematic analysis of the bridge construction system's purpose, components, constraints and required information. Examples of the need for accurate prediction of requirements are discussed for both the civilian and military applications. (Modified author abstract).
Accelerated Bridge Construction
The traveling public has no patience for prolonged, high cost construction projects. This puts highway construction contractors under intense pressure to minimize traffic disruptions and construction cost. Actively promoted by the Federal Highway Administration, there are hundreds of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) construction programs in the United States, Europe and Japan. Accelerated Bridge Construction: Best Practices and Techniques provides a wide range of construction techniques, processes and technologies designed to maximize bridge construction or reconstruction operations while minimizing project delays and community disruption. - Describes design methods for accelerated brid...
The Iron Bridge
The Iron Bridge that spans the River Severn at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire is the most enduring symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1779, the bridge changed forever the lives of the local people, settlement patterns, communication and the economy of the area.
