Bill Harvey has been a committed bridge engineer since 1954. He began properly working on bridges in 1971, spent some time on big steel bridges (Humber, Ouse, Dunkeld) then settled into an acedmic life and working on arches in 1981. Since then he has spent many happy hours in cold damp places but also in libraries and sometimes even in the sun, learning about how arches came about, how they were built, how they work and how they deteriorate. He has worked as an independent consultant and software developer since 2000.
This talk will skim through various aspects of this. Bill will use pictures of bridges and videos of behaviour to explain what we think we know and how big the gaps that remain in our knowledge and understanding of these economically vital structures are.
