Up-to-date coverage of bridge design and analysis--revised to reflect the fifth edition of the AASHTO LRFDspecifications
Design of Highway Bridges, Third Edition offers detailedcoverage of engineering basics for the design of short- andmedium-span bridges. Revised to conform with the latest fifthedition of the American Association of State Highway andTransportation Officials (AASHTO) LRFD Bridge DesignSpecifications, it is an excellent engineering resource for bothprofessionals and students. This updated edition has beenreorganized throughout, spreading the material into twenty shorter,more focused chapters that make information even easier to find andnavigate. It also features:
* Expanded coverage of computer modeling, calibration of servicelimit states, rigid method system analysis, and concrete shear
* Information on key bridge types, selection principles, andaesthetic issues
* Dozens of worked problems that allow techniques to be appliedto real-world problems and design specifications
* A new color insert of bridge photographs, including examples ofhistorical and aesthetic significance
* New coverage of the "green" aspects of recycled steel
* Selected references for further study
From gaining a quick familiarity with the AASHTO LRFDspecifications to seeking broader guidance on highway bridgedesign--Design of Highway Bridges is the one-stop, readyreference that puts information at your fingertips, while alsoserving as an excellent study guide and reference for the U.S.Professional Engineering Examination.
