With 105 color photographs, Indiana's Covered Bridges will appeal to everyone who

"Bridges have fascinated humans for centuries: they symbolize cities and represent power, wealth, and grandeur in their strength and soaring forms; they cross barriers--physical, cultural, and spirtual. They are a metaphor for relationships between people. In this absorbing account, David Blockley celebrates the science, art, and craft; the engineering skills and the teamwork involved in building a bridge. Taking us through the flow of forces in structures such as arches and beams, he leaves the reader able to 'read any bridge like a book'." --Page [4] cover

The safety, maintenance and repair of bridges and buildings depend on effective inspection and monitoring techniques. These methods need to be able to identify problems often hidden within structures before they become serious. This important collection reviews key techniques and their applications to bridges, buildings and other civil structures. The first group of chapters reviews ways of testing corrosion in concrete components. Given their continuing importance and vulnerability to decay, the next series of chapters describes ways of testing wood components within civil structures. A final
