The second edition of this highly successful book is a complete reference on analysis, design and economics of concrete bridges. Meant for design engineers, contractors, their clients and field engineers, the book presents a practical and systematic methodology to enable quick and accurate design decisions. A step-by-step approach has been adopted throughout the text reflecting the order in which a practicing professional might proceed for designing a concrete bridge. The book contains more than 350 illustrations and photographs, tables and charts, and covers in detail topics such as: Structural analysis; Stability of foundations; Soil mechanics; Foundation design; Reinforced and Pre-stressed concrete design. The new edition has been considerably enhanced with additional chapters on: Estimating safe bearing capacity of soils for footings; Caissons and piles; Maintenance management system forhighway bridges; Bridges distress reporting-A workman-like approach. With its absolutely professional and non-academic approach to designing bridges, giving the shortest and optimal paths to design decisions, this book would be indispensable to all design engineers.
