Description
This book will be useful for bridge design engineers as well as researchers working in the field. This book only requires previous knowledge of structural finite element models and dynamics, and it is advisable to have some previous knowledge in bridge engineering.
Santiago HERNANDEZ IBANEZ has been a professor of bridge engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Universidade da Coruna since 1993, where he is in charge of the aerodynamic wind tunnel. He has over 25 years of experience in teaching, research, and writing on structural optimization and has also conducted research on the aeroelastic design of cable suspension bridges. Hernandez has worked on the structural restoration of buildings of historical importance, including a number of well known churches. Well known as a lecturer throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas and has been a pioneer in structural engineering education in Europe.
