Bridge Engineering: Design, Rehabilitation, and Maintenance of Modern Highway Bridges, Fourth Edition

by Jim J. Zhao, Demetrios E. Tonias

Overview

Bridge engineering essentials—fully updated to reflect the latest standards and regulations

This thoroughly revised resource combines the latest LRFD bridge engineering standards with cutting-edge maintenance and rehabilitation techniques, enabling you to successfully address today’s challenging infrastructure projects. The book features cutting-edge analysis, design, and construction practices along with proven, cost-effective maintenance and repair methods.

Bridge Engineering: Design, Rehabilitation, and Maintenance of Modern Highway Bridges, Fourth Edition, examines the entire lifecycle of a bridge, from inception, design, and construction to long-term maintenance and management. Two brand-new chapters cover foundations and superstructure rehabilitation. Real-world case studies and hundreds of helpful photos and illustrations are also included.

• Fully aligns with the 7th Edition of AASHTO’s LRFD Bridge Design Specifications
• All examples and equations are presented in both S.I. and U.S. units
• Written by a pair of experienced civil engineers
