Bridges
Beesker recommends 'Brantacan' as the world's
best website on bridges
ABOUT 'BRANTACAN'
The
Brantacan website,
published in the UK, has a large section on bridges. It describes standard
structural components of bridges, such as beams, struts, ties and arches,
illustrating the concepts with small and ordinary examples which can readily be
seen in daily life, rather than famous large bridges.
The website contains photos of and articles on more than 100 bridges in the UK
and abroad. There are also more than 100 articles on a remarkably wide range of
bridge topics. These range from Arches, Arch Dams, Bending Moments, Box Girder
Bridges, Bridge Spans, and Buckling through Funicular, Keystones, Moments, and
Bridge Stress to Tension, Torsion, Trusses, Uplift of Dams, Vaults, Vectors, and
Voussoirs.
