 <note>An international team of experts has joined forces to produce the Bridge Engineering Handbook. They address all facets-the planning, design, inspection, construction, and maintenance of a variety of bridge structures-creating a must-have resource for every bridge engineer. This unique, comprehensive reference provides the means to review standard practices and keep abreast of new developments and state-of-the-art practices. Comprising 67 chapters in seven sections, the authors present:&#13;
Fundamentals: Provides the basic concepts and theory of bridge engineering&#13;
Superstructure Design: Discusses all types of bridges&#13;
Substructure Design: Addresses columns, piers, abutments, and foundations&#13;
Seismic Design: Presents the latest in seismic bridge design&#13;
Construction and Maintenance: Focuses on the practical issues of bridge structures&#13;
Special Topics: Offers new and important information and unique solutions&#13;
Worldwide Practice: Summarizes bridge engineering practices around the world.&#13;
&#13;
Discover virtually all you need to know about any type of bridge:&#13;
Reinforced, Segmental, and Prestressed Concrete&#13;
Steel beam and plate girder&#13;
Steel box girder&#13;
Orthotropic deck&#13;
Horizontally curved&#13;
Truss&#13;
Arch&#13;
Suspension&#13;
Cable-stayed&#13;
Timber&#13;
