This book is applicable to highway bridges of all construction and material types, and is based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy. It discusses the theory of probability (with an explanation leading to the calibration process and reliability), and includes fully solved design examples of steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge superstructures. It also contains step-by-step calculations for determining the distribution factors for several different types of bridge superstructures (which form the basis of load and resistance design specifications) and can be found in the \u003cem\u003eAASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Realize the Basis and Significance of LRFD Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDivided into six chapters, this instructive text: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces bridge engineering as a discipline of structural design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes numerous types of highway bridge superstructures systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a detailed discussion of various types of loads that act on bridge superstructures and substructures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the methods of analyses of highway bridge superstructures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a detailed discussion of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges, and slab-steel girder bridges\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighway Bridge Superstructure Engineering: LRFD Approaches to Design and Analysis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ecan be used for teaching highway bridge design courses to undergraduate- and graduate-level classes, and as an excellent resource for practicing engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Narendra Taly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466552182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466552180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.10w x 2.20d","brand":"Narendra Taly","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088309301503,"sku":"9781466552180","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95fc3787-a919-4499-aa4b-3c6036137e4c.jpg?v=1769104196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/highway-bridge-superstructure-engineering-narendra-taly-9781466552180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
