Concrete Segmental Bridges

Segmental concrete bridges have become one of the main options for major transportation projects world-wide. They offer expedited construction with minimal traffic disruption lower life cycle costs appealing aesthetics and adaptability to a curved roadway alignment. The literature is focused on construction so this fills the need for a design-oriented book for less experienced bridge engineers and for senior university students.It presents comprehensive theory design and key construction methods with a simple design example based on the AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications for each of the main bridge types. It outlines design techniques and relationships between analytical methods specifications theory design construction and practice. It combines mathematics and engineering mechanics with the authors’ design and teaching experience.
