The latest in bridge design and analysis—revised to reflect the eighth edition of the AASHTO LRFD specifications Design of Highway Bridges: An LRFD Approach, 4th Edition, offers up-to-date coverage of engineering fundamentals for the design of short- and medium-span bridges. Fully updated to incorporate the 8th Edition of the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design Specifications, this invaluable resource offers civil engineering students and practitioners a a comprehensive introduction to the latest construction methods and materials in bridge design, including Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC), ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC), and Practical 3D Rigorous Analysis. This updated Fourth Edition offers: Dozens of end-of-chapter worked problems and design examples based on the latest AASHTO LRFD Specifications. Access to a Solutions Manual and multiple bridge plans including cast-in-place, precast concrete, and steel multi-span available on the Instructor’s companion website From gaining base knowledge of the AASHTO LRFD specifications to detailed guidance on highway bridge design, Design of Highway Bridges is the one-stop reference for civil engineering students and a key study resource for those seeking engineering licensure through the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.
A text/reference book describing the design of many types of concrete highway bridges. Using examples, the text examines the development of all required loads and the associated bridge design specifications....
This book is applicable to highway bridges of all construction and material types, and is based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy.
Reliability models for combinations of extreme events -- Chapter 3. Calibration of load factors for combinations of extreme events -- Chapter 4. Conclusions and future research -- References -- Glossary of notations -- Appendixes.
The inductive method in the book uses alternative approaches, literally teaching backwards. The book introduces topics by presenting specific design examples.
In short, you'll find everything required to take a project through to its successful and profitable completion right here in this single, comprehensive volume.
