Design of Highway Bridges, Second Edition offers detailed coverage of engineering basics for the design of short- and medium-span bridges. Based on the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, it is an excellent engineering resource.
This updated edition features:
Expanded coverage of structural analysis, including axle and lane loads,
along with new numerical analytic methods and approaches;
Dozens of worked problems, primarily in Customary U.S. units, that allow
techniques to be applied to real-world problems and design specifications;
Revised AASHTO steel bridge design guidelines that reflect the simplified
approach for plate girder bridges
The latest information on concrete bridges, including new minimum
reinforcement requirements, and unbonded tendon stress at ultimate and
losses for prestressed concrete girders;
Information on key bridge types, selection principles, and aesthetic
issues;
Problems and selected references for further study;
And more!
From gaining quick familiarity with the AASHTO LRFD specifications to seeking
broader guidance on highway bridge design, this is the one-stop reference that puts information at your fingertips. 1032 pp.
