Up-to-date coverage of bridge design and analysis-- revised to reflect the fifth edition of the AASHTO LRFD specifications: 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,
ready reference that puts information at your fingertips.
