Published in five books: Fundamentals, Superstructure Design, Substructure Design, Seismic Design, and Construction and Maintenance, this new edition provides numerous worked-out examples that give readers step-by-step design procedures, includes contributions by leading experts from around the world in their respective areas of bridge engineering, contains 26 completely new chapters, and updates most other chapters.
This extensive collection highlights bridge engineering specimens from around the world, contains detailed information on bridge engineering, and thoroughly explains the concepts and practical applications surrounding the subject. Over 140 experts, 14 countries, and 89 chapters are represented in the second edition of the Bridge Engineering Handbook. Guidelines for the design and protection of movable bridges are included in the AASHTO Guide Specification (AASHTO 2009) and the AASHTO LRFD Movable Highway . Categories: Technology & Engineering Technical Bulletin An abundance of worked-out examples give readers step-by-step design procedures and the section on Worldwide Practice provides a broad and valuable perspective on the "big picture" of bridge engineering. Discover virtually all you need to know about any type of bridge: Reinforced, Segmental, and Prestressed Concrete Steel beam and plate girder Steel box girder Orthotropic deck Horizontally curved Truss Arch Suspension Cable-stayed Timber Movable Floating Railroad Special attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance, and the Bridge Engineering Handbook offers over 1,600 tables, charts, and illustrations in ready-to-use format. Comprising 67 chapters in seven sections, the authors present: Fundamentals: Provides the basic concepts and theory of bridge engineering Superstructure Design: Discusses all types of bridges Substructure Design: Addresses columns, piers, abutments, and foundations Seismic Design: Presents the latest in seismic bridge design Construction and Maintenance: Focuses on the practical issues of bridge structures Special Topics: Offers new and important information and unique solutions Worldwide Practice: Summarizes bridge engineering practices around the world. This unique, comprehensive reference provides the means to review standard practices and keep abreast of new developments and state-of-the-art practices. They address all facets-the planning, design, inspection, construction, and maintenance of a variety of bridge structures-creating a must-have resource for every bridge engineer. The first is that if a large vessel is .Īn international team of experts has joined forces to produce the Bridge Engineering Handbook. There are two factors that are unique to movable bridges with regard to fender ( and vessel collision ) design. Categories: Technology & Engineering Movable Bridge Design It also presents ten benchmark comparisons for highway composite girder design from different countries the highest bridges the top 100 longest bridges, and the top 20 longest bridge spans for various bridge types including suspension, cable-stayed, extradosed, arch, girder, movable bridges (vertical lift, swing, and bascule), floating, stress ribbon, and timber and bridge construction methods. A color insert illustrates select landmark bridges. It examines various bridge types, including slab, girder, segmental, truss, arch, suspension, and cable-stayed.
The book examines the use of different materials for each region, including stone, timber, concrete, steel, and composite. Countries covered include Canada and the United States in North America Argentina and Brazil in South America Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, and Ukraine in the European continent China, Indonesia, Japan, Chinese Taipei, and Thailand in Asia and Egypt, Iran, and Turkey in the Middle East.
This comprehensive and up-to-date reference work and resource book covers state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice for bridge engineering worldwide.
