Innovative Bridge Design Handbook: Construction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance

Each bridge presents a unique set of design, construction, and maintenance challenges so it is important for engineers to have general knowledge in bridge engineering design and construction so they can be familiar with the associated bridge design codes and specifications for detailed analysis and design of bridge elements.  The second edition of the Innovative Bridge Design Handbook: Construction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance continues to bring together the specific knowledge of bridge engineering dealing with design, assessment, research and construction. Written by an international group of experts, each chapter is subdivided into two parts: the first concerning design issues and the second to current research providing innovative design approaches used in various parts of the world.  The new edition includes new topics such as foot bridges, new materials in bridge engineering and soil-foundation structure interaction.  All other chapters are updated to include the latest concepts in design, construction, and maintenance that will reduce project costs and increase structural safety and durability. Completely revised and updated with the latest in bridge engineering and designProvides detailed design procedures for specific bridges with solved examplesPresents a structural analysis including numerical methods (FEM), dynamics, risk and reliability, and innovative structural typologies INDICE: Section I - Fundamentals 1.
