	Definition of Hungerford Bridge
		Hungerford Bridge is a bridge, or triplet of bridges, over the River Thames in London, between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge.
		Hungerford Bridge was originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and opened in 1845 as a suspension footbridge.
		In the mid-1990s a decision was made to replace the footbridge with new structures on either side of the existing railway bridge, and a competition was held in 1996 for a new design.

	Hungerford Bridge - Review - TYPICAL!
		Hungerford Bridge Thames River Crossing dates from 1845, when Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed a suspension footbridge to connect the south bank of the river with Hungerford Market, which then stood on the north side of the Thames.
		This new bridge incorporated the two central piers that formerly suspended Brunel’s Hungerford Bridge, but the chains of the old bridge were re-used by Brunel himself in the construction of Clifton Suspension Bridge.
		After crossing Hungerford Bridge, I negotiated the continuing construction works on the South Bank and then walked alongside the river to Waterloo Bridge, passing, along the way, The Royal Festival Hall, which dates from the 1951 “Festival of Britain”, (a post-second-world-war tonic that successfully lifted the spirit of the nation).

	Dynamic Analysis of the Hungerford Bridge Millennium Project
		LUSAS Bridge was used to calculate the dynamic response of the bridges and to generate the parameters for wind tunnel tests.
		The main bridges were firstly checked against the limiting value of acceleration, due to a 180N sinusoidal dynamic load, specified in the UK's Department of Transport Standard BD 37/88.
		Testing was necessary to investigate the susceptibility of the bridge decks to aerodynamic behaviour.

		LUSAS Bridge is used by engineers worldwide for all types of bridge design from simple slab deck bridges, composite and integral bridges and bow-string arch bridges, through to box girder, cable stayed and suspension bridges.
		It is also used routinely for all types of "architectural" bridges with slender or curved shapes, especially where dynamic loading is important.

		We hurry along the bridge, with its pagoda-like piers, which serve to support the iron chains suspending the platform, and turn down a flight of winding steps, bearing a considerable resemblance to the entrance of a vault or cellar.
		Barges, fl with coal, are moored in the roads in long parallel lines beside the bridge on one side the river, and on the other there are timber-yards at the water's edge, crowded with yellow stacks of deal.
		After a slight squeak, and a corresponding jerk, and amid the cries from a distracted boy of "Ease her!" "Stop her!" "Back her !" as if the poor boat were suffering some sudden pain, the steamer is brought to a temporary halt at Westminster pier.

	Costain Blueprint Winter 2001
		Costain/Norwest Holst’s joint venture to build the Hungerford Bridge Millennium Project was held up last August by the possibility of unexploded bombs on the bed of the River Thames close to tube tunnels.
		The existing railway bridge was a direct target for bombers during the Second World War and it was feared that underwater drilling work could trigger an explosion.
		As well as the proximity of the bridge to rail and tube lines, the challenging nature of the project is also due in part to the design of the bridge.

	Location of water companies
		During 1845-64, the Hungerford Bridge was being replaced with a wider railroad bridge, which also incorporated a footbridge.
		At the time, the railroad company justified the demolition of the Hungerford suspension bridge by arguing that the smell of the river was so bad, especially in the summer, that no one used the bridge.
		Perhaps building the railroad bridge put further pressure on the Lambeth Waterworks Company to relocate its water intake, as was done during 1847-52.

		Before the bridge was completed a wrought iron bar was placed across the gap to the right of the bridge and brave Victorians would PAY to be pulled across in a basket.
		During the 1990 hurricane, one of the bridge engineers was driving over the bridge when it was hit by a mini tornado.
		Without something to prevent this movement reaching the tower, the bridge would have fallen down within months, so inside the top of the towers are special saddles to support the chains.
