This work provides a detailed and up-to-the-minute survey of the various stability problems that can affect suspension bridges. In order to deduce some experimental data and rules on the behavior of suspension bridges, a number of historical events are first described, in the course of which several questions concerning their stability naturally arise. The book then surveys conventional mathematical models for suspension bridges and suggests new nonlinear alternatives, which can potentially supply answers to some stability questions. New explanations are also provided, based on the nonlinear structural behavior of bridges. All the models and responses presented in the book employ the theory of differential equations and dynamical systems in the broader sense, demonstrating that methods from nonlinear analysis can allow us to determine the thresholds of instability.

Theory of Arches and Suspension Bridges by David Barnard Steinman, first published in 1913, is a rare manuscript, the original residing in one of the great libraries of the world. This book is a reproduction of that original, which has been scanned and cleaned by state-of-the-art publishing tools for better readability and enhanced appreciation. Restoration Editors' mission is to bring long out of print manuscripts back to life. Some smudges, annotations or unclear text may still exist, due to permanent damage to the original work.

"When he was thinking about how to build a bridge across the River Tweed, Sir Samuel Brown stopped while observing a spider s web. Right at this time he discovered the suspension bridge." Charles Bender, 1868. The English translation of Tadaki Kawada s landmark book traces the modern suspension bridge from its earliest appearance in Western civilization only 200 years ago to the enormous Akashi Kaikyo and Storebælt bridges completed at the end of the twentieth century. History of the Modern Suspension Bridge: Solving the Dilemma between Economy and Stiffness examines the conflicts, the bridge collapses, the colorful personalities, and the advancements that have shaped the development of the suspension bridge. From John Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge to the legendary rivalry between Othmar Ammann and David Steinman, from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940, which Kawada explores in depth, to the closing of London s Millennium Bridge just three days after its opening, this book is a complete history of the modern suspension bridge with a focus on the two essential factors in suspension bridge design, economy and stiffness, which are always in competition with one another. How do engineers reinforce the suspension bridge against the elements of wind and traffic, without sacrificing economy? History of the Modern Suspension Bridge: Solving the Dilemma between Economy and Stiffness will appeal to anyone interested in engineering history and suspension bridges. Practicing engineers will find the charts, tables, and design formulas especially valuable. About the authors: Tadaki Kawada, Ph.D., is a renowned engineer and bridge designer who has designed some of the world s longest suspension bridges. He served as president and CEO of Kawada Industries, Tokyo, and is currently on the board of directors. Harukazu Ohashi, Ph.D., (translator) is an executive officer of Nippon Engineering Consultants Co., Ltd., of Tokyo and previously held positions with the Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Authority in Japan and Parsons Corporation in New York. Richard Scott (editor) is a waterway heritage planner for Parks Canada, where he is currently responsible for planning along the Trent-Severn Waterway. He is the author of In the Wake of Tacoma (ASCE Press, 2001).
