Studied by a team of experts in the fields of history, bridge engineering, architecture, and computer analysis were 21 old truss bridges of historical importance located in Virginia. These old bridges are narrow and have low load-carrying capacities, making them targets for replacement and destruction. On a case-by-case basis, the bridges were investigated as to their potentials for strengthening and widening for normal vehicular use. Also explored were non-vehicular uses as for conversion into craft centers, museums, restaurants, housing, bicycle structures, and the like, at either the present site or a new one. The wide array of possibilities for continued use of the old bridges described in this report show that old bridges do indeed have much useful life left in them and it is not always necessary that they be demolished.

The Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Historic Resources are responsible for the management of about 30 historic truss bridges. All too often, these structures do not meet today's traffic demands or safety standards. Their general deterioration requires disassembly and relocation, rehabilitation and re-erection, or storage. The technology and materials used to build them are no longer in use, and many of the people with practical experience are no longer working. Little information is readily available on safely and effectively identifying and performing necessary operations. VDOT's Knowledge Management Division and the Virginia Transportation Research Council interviewed active and retired engineers, consultants, field personnel, environmental specialists, and architectural historians to collect best practices related to pin-connected and riveted truss bridges. The report is organized using the process followed for the recent rehabilitation of a historic truss in Goshen, Virginia, and discusses the issues faced by those moving and rehabilitating historic metal truss bridges.

Due to significant economic growth in the last few decades, increasing traffic loads impose tremendous demand on bridge structures. This, coupled with ongoing deterioration of bridges, introduces a unique challenge to bridge engineers in maintaining service of these infrastructure assets without disruption to vital economic and social activities. This requires innovative solutions and optimized methodologies to achieve safe and efficient operation of bridge structures. Bridge engineering practitioners, researchers, owners, and contractors from all over the world presented on modern techniques in design, inspection, monitoring and rehabilitation of bridge structures, at the Sixth New York City Bridge Conference held New York City on July 25-26, 2011. This book contains a select number of papers presented at the conference. This group of papers provides a state-of-the-art in bridge engineering and is of interest to any reader in the field.

Obscure Island Flavors is a groundbreaking exploration of hidden culinary treasures from remote island communities worldwide, offering a unique perspective on sustainable cooking and traditional food preservation methods. Through meticulous research spanning 50 islands across three oceans, the book unveils centuries-old techniques that have remained largely unknown to mainstream gastronomy, demonstrating how geographical isolation has preserved invaluable culinary knowledge. The journey begins in Indonesia's remote islands, winds through the South Pacific, and concludes in secluded Atlantic archipelagos, documenting remarkable practices such as the Mentawai people's electricity-free fish smoke-curing and Tobagan underground cooking methods. These traditional techniques not only showcase indigenous ingenuity but also provide practical solutions for modern challenges in food preservation and sustainability. The book's approach seamlessly weaves together culinary arts, anthropology, and environmental science, presenting complex information through detailed case studies and practical demonstrations. Moving from basic preservation methods to sophisticated multi-ingredient preparations, the book offers both scientific explanations and hands-on instruction. While maintaining technical accuracy, it presents information in an accessible format that serves both professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts. Each chapter includes comprehensive recipes, technique demonstrations, and cultural context, making traditional island-based methods adaptable to contemporary kitchens while preserving their cultural significance and sustainable principles.
