Design of Highway Bridges, Second Edition Offers Detailed Coverage of Engineering Basics for the Design of Short- and Medium-Span Bridges.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43552) has announced the addition of Design of Highway Bridges: An LRFD LRFD Load & Resistance Factor Design Approach, 2nd Edition to their offering The up-to-date guide to applying theory and specifications to real-world highway bridge design Design of Highway Bridges, Second Edition is the complete update of the only text covering the application of design fundamentals and up-to-date design specifications to real-world highway bridge design. This major new edition of the premier reference on the engineering design and analysis of short and medium-span bridges using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology, with many new figures and text revisions. Design of Highway Bridges, Second Edition offers detailed coverage of engineering basics for the design of short- and medium-span bridges. Based on the American Association American Association refers to one of the following professional baseball leagues:
* Expanded coverage of structural analysis, including axle and lane loads, along with new numerical analytic methods and approaches * Dozens of worked problems, primarily in Customary U.S. units, that allow techniques to be applied to real-world problems and design specifications * Revised AASHTO steel bridge design guidelines that reflect the simplified approach for plate girder bridges A plate girder bridge is a bridge supported by two or more plate girders. The plate girders are typically I-beams made up from separate structural steel plates (rather than rolled as a single cross-section), which are welded (or occasionally bolted or riveted) together to * The latest information on concrete bridges, including new minimum reinforcement requirements, and unbonded tendon stress at ultimate and losses for prestressed concrete prestressed concrete Concrete reinforced by either pretensioning or posttensioning, allowing it to carry a greater load or span a greater distance than ordinary reinforced concrete. In pretensioning, lengths of steel wire or cables are laid in the empty mold and stretched. girders * Information on key bridge types, selection principles, and aesthetic issues * Problems and selected references for further study * And more From gaining quick familiarity with the AASHTO LRFD specifications to seeking broader guidance on highway bridge designCothis is the one-stop, ready reference that puts information at your fingertips "Fingertips" is a 1963 number-one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. Wonder's first hit single, "Fingertips" was the first live, non-studio recording to reach number-one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the United States. . There are some 600,000 officially listed bridges in the Federal Highway Administrations "National Bridge Inventory." Nearly 25% are deemed to be in imminent danger of failure, while two thirds of these bridges lack mandatory safety and engineering features. These infrastructure needs will continue to create demand at both the academic and professional engineering level for up-to-date, reliable guidance in current bridge technology. And as part of the general discipline of structural engineering, this book fits well within our traditional strengths in engineering publishing at both the professional and academic level. In addition, advances in bridge technology, coupled with significant, recent revisions to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) bridge specifications necessitate a new, revised edition of this important book. About the authors Richard M. Barker, PhD, PE, is Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, at Blacksburg; land-grant and state supported; coeducational; chartered and opened 1872 as an agricultural and mechanical college. . A consultant to contractors and design firms on bridge-related projects, he has fifty years of experience with highway bridges as a structural designer, project engineer, researcher, and teacher. He served as a subconsultant to AASHTO on maintenance of the LRFD specifications and to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA FHWA Federal Highway Administration (US DoT) ) on training course development for LRFD design of highway bridge substructures. Jay A. Puckett, PhD, PE, is the V. O. Smith Professor of Civil and Architectural Engineering Architectural engineering A discipline that deals with the technological aspects of buildings, including the properties and behavior of building materials and components, foundation design, structural analysis and design, environmental system analysis and and Department Head at the University of Wyoming UW is a national research university prominent in the fields of environment and natural resource research, specializing in agriculture, energy, geology, and water resource related fields. , and President of Bridge Tech, Inc., a consulting firm Noun 1. consulting firm - a firm of experts providing professional advice to an organization for a fee consulting company business firm, firm, house - the members of a business organization that owns or operates one or more establishments; "he worked for a that specializes in software development for bridge engineering. With thirty years of experience in bridge research and development, he has developed software for the analysis and rating of bridge systems that is currently in use at over forty transportation agencies.
