DESCRIPTION:
"Completed book" according to MUSTAFA CEM OZKAN. It is one of the most beautiful book that I have read and studied before. From beginning to end all valuable ideas are in order.All kind of bridges (arch,suspended)are avaliable.Spported with nice sketches and photos of bridges from all over the world.Giving an inspritation to an Engineer.. Alexander Mabrich said Excellent book. IT cover all aspects of bridge design. You will find any topic related to bridge design in this book. It will give a good introductory knowledge, then you can move to more specific books. Examples are clear and good.. Easy to Use A Customer This text does a very good job on demonstrating material with lots of sample problems. It also avoids tedious derivations of formulas that should already be second nature by the time you use a book of this level.
An international team of experts has joined forces to produce the Bridge Engineering Handbook. 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. This unique, comprehensive reference provides the means to review standard practices and keep abreast of new developments and state-of-the-art practices. 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.. Comprising 67 chapters in seven sections, the authors present:Fundamentals: Provides the basic concepts and theory of bridge engineeringSuperstructure Design: Discusses all types of bridgesSubstructure Design: Addresses columns, piers, abutments, and foundationsSeismic Design: Presents the latest in seismic bridge designConstruction and Maintenance: Focuses on the practical issues of bridge structuresSpecial Topics: Offers new and important information and unique solutionsWorldwide Practice: Summarizes bridge engineering practices around the world.Discover virtually all you need to know about any type of bridge:Reinforced, Segmental, and Prestressed ConcreteSteel beam and plate girderSteel box girderOrthotropic deckHorizontally curvedTrussArchSuspensionCable-stayedTimberMovableFloatingRailroadSpecial attention is given to
C. Schnobrich, CHOICE, May 2000 . 21…first handbook dedicated to bridge engineering…others cover some of the same ground but not in the breadth and scope of this handbook…any academic or technical library supporting an engineering department should have this handbook.--W. Editors Wai-Fah Chen and Lian Duan have invited contributions from bridge engineers around the world, and the list of authors reads like a 'who's who' of structural engineering.--Bridge Design & Engineering, 4th Quarter 2000, No. Winner of a Choice magazine's Outstanding Academic Title
