Trinity Bridge and Bridge of the Month
Bill Harvey has been doing a monthly report on historical bridges for many years, but recent issues have the added interest of interactive 3D models of the selected bridges. The Trinity Bridge at Crowland in South Lincolnshire is an excellent … Continue reading

Non-linear frame analysis; moment curvature and self-weight
The Python/Fortran/Excel frame analysis program (previous version here) now has several new features added to the 2D-solver routines: The beam bending behaviour may now be specified with moment-curvature tables, rather than the linear-plastic behaviour required in the previous version. Beam … Continue reading

Paper bridge
Making a model bridge out of paper is pretty easy. Making a full size bridge, strong enough to carry a Range Rover, out of just paper takes a bit of doing: It seems the guy who built the bridge (Steve … Continue reading
