CONCRETE SEGMENTAL BRIDGES THEORY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO AASHTO LRFD SPECIFICATIONS (PB 2021) Paperback

Segmental concrete bridges are now a leading choice for major transportation projects globally due to their fast construction with minimal traffic impact, lower long-term costs, attractive appearance, and ability to accommodate curved roads. While existing resources often focus on construction aspects, this book addresses the need for a design-centric guide aimed at newer bridge engineers and advanced university students. It provides thorough coverage of the theory, design principles, and key construction methods for these bridges. To aid understanding, it includes straightforward design examples for each main bridge type, all based on the AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications. The book highlights design techniques and the connections between analytical methods, specifications, theoretical concepts, design processes, construction practices, and real-world application. It blends mathematical principles and engineering mechanics with the authors' extensive design and teaching experience.
