Description   Written to meet the bridge infrastructure needs of the new millennium, this new edition of Bridge Engineering has been completely revised to cover all the latest developments in highway bridge planning, design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation. From initial concept to final contract document preparation, this updated classic focuses on the entire bridge engineering process. You will find unsurpassed information on: Structures Seismic analysis Project funding Design standards Site survey Bridge inspection Load rating Roadway alignments and geometrics Traffic Safety Bridge management, and much more. This revised edition includes new material on current design codes, the latest maintenance and repair techniques, and state-of-the-art construction practices. Filled with real-world case studies, powerful computer-aided design methods, and over 400 detailed illustrations, this new edition features: New cost-effective and highly efficient maintenance and repair methods. The most current AASTHO design codes and ASCE design techniques. Complete integration of LRFD and LFD methods throughout, together with examples and problems. Cutting-edge design and construction methods. SI units integrated throughout. Bridge Engineering offers the most complete and practical treatment available for every aspect of highway bridge design, rehabilitation, and maintenance. From initial concept all the way to final contract documentation preparation, Bridge Engineering presents a clear and detailed road map to the entire bridge engineering process. Highway bridges continue to be a major infrastructure issue in the new millennium. It is estimated that 40 percent of all bridges in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are in need of major attention. Major Federal infrastructure investment in 2001 increased by 9 billion dollars over the year 2000, including highway funding, and the trend continued in 2004 and beyond. This second edition of Bridge Engineering continues to focus on the process of planning, design, maintenance and rehabilitation, and construction methods. This is not just a book about bridge design, but also a book on the bridge engineering process. Nearly 50 percent of the revisions to this new edition include new information on design codes, maintenance issues, repair techniques and construction practice. This Updated Civil Engineering Classic Covers: Highway bridge structures Design Codes and Specifications Project selection Superstructure design Substructure design Load rating Approaches Structure geometric data Construction and traffic Contract documents Managing the design process Bridge management system From the Preface This, the second edition of Bridge Engineering, preserves most of the text and style of the previous one. At the same time, it presents a number of significant changes and additions. A book of this nature is by definition an ever-evolving project. In the period since this book was first written there has been a major change in bridge design methods. Twelve years ago, allowable stress design (ASD), and to some less extent, load factor design (LFD), dominated the bridge engineering profession in this country. Now we are in the transition of implementing load and resistance factor design (LRFD) as a uniformed design method. In reflecting the reality that both LRFD and LFD are currently being used by various state transportation agencies, I am mindful that both methods are covered by this new edition. It is my belief that young engineers, especially college students, should study and understand both AASHTO Standard Specifications and AASHTO LRFD Specifications, so that they will be well prepared to face the challenges of becoming bridge engineers in this exciting and quite rewarding job market. By introducing young engineers not only to the theory of bridge design, but also to the complete tasks of bridge design, maintenance, inspection, rehabilitation and management, I hope to enlist talents and new enthusiasm in working toward improving our aging transportation infrastructure on which the nation's future economy and growth depend. - Jim J Zhao PE About the Authors Demetrius E Tonias PE (Concord, NH) is a leading design engineer and software developer who has worked on a wide range of bridge rehabilitation, site development, and public works projects.
