Résumé

The up-to-date guide to applying theory and specifications to real-world highway bridge design

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.
