Book Description
A How-To Guide for Bridge Engineers and Designers Highway Bridge Superstructure Engineering: LRFD Approaches to Design and Analysis provides a detailed discussion of traditional structural design perspectives, and serves as a state-of-the-art resource on the latest design and analysis of highway bridge superstructures. 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 AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Fully Realize the Basis and Significance of LRFD Specifications Divided into six chapters, this instructive text: Introduces bridge engineering as a discipline of structural design Describes numerous types of highway bridge superstructures systems Presents a detailed discussion of various types of loads that act on bridge superstructures and substructures Discusses the methods of analyses of highway bridge superstructures Includes a detailed discussion of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges, and slab-steel girder bridges Highway Bridge Superstructure Engineering: LRFD Approaches to Design and Analysis can be used for teaching highway bridge design courses to undergraduate- and graduate-level classes, and as an excellent resource for practicing engineers.

Book Description
Provides a thorough approach to the issues that civil engineers face on a daily basis in the realm of highways, and is well praised for its accessibility and breadth of information. This book provides the foundational information necessary for a career in transportation while also preparing learners for experience with an emphasis on real-life implementations and contemporary methodologies. Students will gain the knowledge necessary to evaluate and address the issues experiencing the highway system while being introduced to a wide range of related topics, including highway engineering as well as traffic assessment, road vehicle effectiveness, traffic flow as well as highway competence, pavement design, journey demand, as well as traffic predicting. The book's purpose is to introduce readers to engineering management by exploring the social, economics, as well as political factors that shape the field. Aspects like geometric pattern, Highway Capacity Manual procedures, and traffic light timing get a lot of attention, as do theoretically essential ones like the basics of traffic monitoring and the economic models behind transportation demand modelling. This book covers topics like Elements of Traffic Engineering. IRC standards, Highway capacity and levels of service, PCU concept, Traffic Engineering Theories, Elements of design, Traffic regulation and control, Highway Intersection, Traffic signals, Geometric elements highways and expressways, Traffic Safety etc
