Bridge engineering - Substructure Design







The

Bridge Engineering Handbook

Preface

is a unique, comprehensive, and the state-of-the-art reference work

and resource book covering the major areas of bridge engineering with the theme “bridge to the 21st

century.” It has been written with practicing bridge and structural engineers in mind. The ideal readers

will be M.S.-level structural and bridge engineers with a need for a single reference source to keep abreast

of new developments and the state-of-the-practice, as well as to review standard practices.

The areas of bridge engineering include planning, analysis and design, construction, maintenance, and

rehabilitation. To provide engineers a well-organized and user-friendly, easy to follow resource, the

Handbook is divided into four volumes: I, Superstructure Design II, Substructure Design III, Seismic

Design, and IV, Construction and Maintenance.

Volume II: Substructure Design

addresses the various substructure components: bearings, piers and

columns, towers, abutments and retaining structures, geotechnical considerations, footing and foundations, vessel collisions, and bridge hydraulics.
