Bridges and Highways - Rehabilitation and Repair



INTRODUCTION

During the author’s career as a consulting engineer and teacher of structural engineering subjects, it was observed that few textbooks are available on bridge design or inspection and rating. Bridge engineering background information needs to be presented beyond AASHTO LRFD specifi cations and the manual for condition evaluation and LRFR for highway bridges. What is especially needed is coverage of recent state-of-the-art developments.





A bridge engineer has to face many aspects—structural and otherwise. This book is about problem solving and providing an insight into important issues. As a bridge engineer and teacher of modern bridge engineering, I fi nd that there is a need for a book to address new technology on planning, detailed design, and rehabilitation aspects. Topics such as seismic retrofi ts and scour countermeasures need to be summed up in the form of a book for the benefi ts of students and practicing engineers.
