Over 140 experts, 14 countries, and 89 chapters are represented in the second edition of the Bridge Engineering Handbook. This extensive collection provides detailed information on bridge engineering, and thoroughly explains the concepts and practical applications surrounding the subject, and also highlights bridges from around the world. This second edition of the bestselling Bridge Engineering Handbook covers virtually all the information an engineer would need to know about any type of bridge-from planning to construction to maintenance. It contains more than 2,500 tables, charts, and illustrations in a practical, ready-to-use format. An abundance of worked-out examples gives readers numerous practical step-by-step design procedures. Special attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance. Coverage also includes seismic design and building materials. Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition contains 26 new chapters.

First Published in 1999: The Bridge Engineering Handbook is a unique, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art reference work and resource book covering the major areas of bridge engineering with the theme "bridge to the 21st century."

Innovative Bridge Design Handbook: Construction, Rehabilitation, and Maintenance, Second Edition, brings together the essentials of bridge engineering across design, assessment, research and construction. Written by an international group of experts, each chapter is divided into two parts: the first covers design issues, while the second presents current research into the innovative design approaches used across the world. This new edition includes new topics such as foot bridges, new materials in bridge engineering and soil-foundation structure interaction. All chapters have been updated to include the latest concepts in design, construction, and maintenance to reduce project cost, increase structural safety, and maximize durability. Code and standard references have been updated. - Completely revised and updated with the latest in bridge engineering and design - Provides detailed design procedures for specific bridges with solved examples - Presents structural analysis including numerical methods (FEM), dynamics, risk and reliability, and innovative structural typologies
