DESCRIPTION:
Fundamental knowledge of bridge design It only covers fundamental knowledge of bridge design, and basic bridge members designs. It does not cover the whole superstruacture design. It may not be a good book for practical structural engineers.. Two missing chapters in this book Al Chu This book called Design of Highway Bridges lacks two chapters that are mentioned in the preface by the authors and therefore, it is incomplete design purpose. The title that may fit this book is Highway Superstructures design. The two chapters are on Substructures Design. I believe that the book is incomplete to use for a first course of bridge design, since it does not cover important subjects. My recommendation is not to buy it until the two missing chapters are added. Look for somewhere else, do not waste your money.. C. Sayakoummane said Vilaysak SAYAKOUMMANE. Excellent book for a fundamental and intermidate knowledge of Bridge Design for Small & Middle Spans. Very suitable for both Junior and Senior Students, and Practical Engineers as well.
