An international team of experts has joined forces to produce the Bridge Engineering Handbook. They address all facets-the planning, design, inspection, construction, and maintenance of a variety of bridge structures-creating a must-have resource for every bridge engineer. This unique, comprehensive reference provides the means to review standard practices and keep abreast of new developments and state-of-the-art practices. Comprising 67 chapters in seven sections, the authors present:Fundamentals: Provides the basic concepts and theory of bridge engineering Superstructure Design: Discusses all types of bridges Substructure Design: Addresses columns, piers, abutments, and foundations Seismic Design: Presents the latest in seismic bridge design Construction and Maintenance: Focuses on the practical issues of bridge structures Special Topics: Offers new and important information and unique solutions Worldwide Practice: Summarizes bridge engineering practices around the world.Discover virtually all you need to know about any type of bridge:Reinforced, Segmental, and Prestressed Concrete Steel beam and plate girder Steel box girder Orthotropic deck Horizontally curved Truss Arch Suspension Cable-stayed Timber Movable Floating RailroadSpecial attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance, and the Bridge Engineering Handbook offers over 1,600 tables, charts, and illustrations in ready-to-use format. An abundance of worked-out examples give readers step-by-step design procedures and the section on Worldwide Practice provides a broad and valuable perspective on the "big picture" of bridge engineering. Booknews Presents a comprehensive reference on planning, design, inspection, construction, history, aesthetics, and maintenance of a variety of bridge structures. Material is in sections on fundamentals, superstructure, substructure, and seismic design, construction and maintenance, special topics, and worldwide practice. Describes basic concepts and assumptions without detailed derivations of formulas, combining traditional and new practices and focusing on practical solutions. Special attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance. An abundance of examples give readers step-by-step design procedures. Includes b&w photos. Annotation c.
