Stories That Bridge

This book contains stories. The stories contain information and lessons. The information and lessons are coated in simple language and humor. The idea of this book is to provide information about the working of bridge engineers in field covering their struggles joy triumphs and failures. Many a mistake mentioned in the book appears silly but real people do these mistakes in real life often with tragic consequences. Since the information is provided in the form of stories the readers will find it easy to get the message and to retain it. It is meant to be a resource for the fresh engineers for the students and for people interested in civil engineering or asset management. Designers and academicians who don’t get much exposure to the field conditions will also find this book extremely useful. This book thus bridges the gaps between theory and practice between field and design office and between the freshman and experienced people. And so it is aptly named as ‘Stories That Bridge’.
