Innovative Bridge Design Handbook: Construction, Rehabilitation and Maintenance brings together the latest information on bridge design, construction, and maintenance challenges from world leaders in the field. . The book encompasses the state-of-the-art in the field, also presenting updated information on tactics for safety assessment. Users will find innovative design approaches used in various parts of the world, along with tactics on how to develop concepts for design, construction, and maintenance that will reduce project cost and increase structural durability. The handbook begins with an analysis of the history and development of bridges, including aesthetics and design, and loads, including seismic, wind, fatigue and fracture, creep and shrinkage, local effects, LRDF designs, and bridge design based on geometry. . In addition, discussions of special structures, including segmental bridges, movable bridges, masonry bridges, timber bridges, and railway bridges are covered, along with foundations, construction practices, inspection, and maintenance systems. Every chapter is subdivided into two sections, with the first part tackling design issues, and the second covering numerical modeling methods.
