Title: TENSION ARCH STRUCTURE
Accession Number: 00399168
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Tension Arch structure is introduced and explained. The Tension Arch principle, when incorporated in an innovative bridge structure, has the potential for solving many of the problems that have plagued conventional bridge designs over the years. It offers more efficient use of materials; can be used with a variety of materials, including steel, concrete, and timber; can achieve lower construction costs through reduced design cost, mass production of compressive and tensile components, minimum shop and field custom fabrication, and reduced erection time and erection equipment costs; and provides a geometry that is relatively insensitive to a variety of support movements along any or all three axes.
