Strain gauge
Series: Surveyor ; 187(5612) 14 December 2000, 21-23(3)Publication details: 2000Subject(s): Summary: Discusses the assessment of whether road bridges are capable of bearing super-heavy loads, comparing the usual method, which can be expensive and repetitive, with an alternative devised by Hampshire County Council's bridges engineering group. Known as 'load equivalence method', it does not assess bridges to see if they can carry the load but assesses the loads themselves. The concept was developed in conjunction with work already under way on establishing a national heavy load grid as the new method would greatly assist the redrawing of the grid.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
