Description:

Covering all bridge systems (substructure and superstructure) in one succinct, manageable package, this book presents real world bridge examples demonstrating both their design and evaluation using LRFD and LRFR. Intended for a 3-4 credit undergraduate or graduate-level course, the book aims to present the fundamentals of the topic without expanding needlessly on advanced or specialized topics.
