Bridge Engineering Handbook

Why should you need Bridge Engineering Handbook in order to get detailed information about construction and design of any bridge types? Of course, when it comes to know the basic theories and practical issues of how each type of beam bridge works, an construction engineer must include various issues to get excellent bridges with great structures designs such support structure, forces, size, shape, material, safety factor and appearance of such bridge. And sometimes engineers need to attend structural engineering courses.

The 1st edition of Bridge Engineering Handbook is designed to cover all associated things to design simple and complex design of bridge. Numerical methods and analysis is presented to give best conceptual design and calculation method to determine and analyze the structures of concretes bridges, particularly to calculate minimum reinforcement requirements in order to withstand all possible loads and forces particularly for engineering disasters bridges.

The authors of Bridge Engineering Handbook, W.F. Chen and Lian Duan also include detailed information about latest development of current bridge design types, including the main principles and approaches on how to select steel material, design criteria and requirements to transmit axle and lane loads and implementing aesthetic aspects and geotechnical issues on design for tension and compression bridges of retaining super-structures.

Learning Bridge Engineering Handbook can lead you to know how to get initial planning of bridge design by following right procedures of LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
