About the Book:
An international team of experts has joined forces to produce the Bridge Engineering Handbook. They address all facets-the planning, design, inspection, construction, and maintenance of a variety of bridge structures-creating a must-have resource for every bridge engineer. This unique, comprehensive reference provides the means to review standard practices and keep abreast of new developments and state-of-the-art practices. Comprising 67 chapters in seven sections, the authors presents:
Fundamentals: Provides the basic concepts and theory of bridge engineering Superstructure Design: Discusses all types of bridges Substructure Design: Addresses columns, piers, abutments, and foundations Seismic Design: Presents the latest in seismic bridge design Construction and Maintenance: Focuses on the practical issues of bridge structures Special Topics: Offers new and important information and unique solutions Worldwide Practice: Summarizes bridge engineering practices around the world.
Special attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance, and the Bridge Engineering Handbook offers over 1,600 tables, charts, and illustrations in ready-to-use format. An abundance of worked-out examples give readers step-by-step design procedures and the section on Worldwide Practice provides a broad and valuable perspective on the "big picture" of bridge engineering past and present.
Features: - Covers all major areas of bridge design, construction, and maintenance
- Describe basic concepts and assumptions, without detailed derivations of formulas and theories
- Provides in-depth treatment of earthquake geotechnical and seismic considerations
- Combines traditional and state-of-the-art practices Focuses on practical solutions

About the Authors: Wai-Fah Chen is a George E. Goodwin Distinguished Professor
of Civil Engineering and head of the Department of Structural Engineering,
School of Civil Engineering at Purdue university. He received his B.S. in civil
engineering from the National Cheng-Kung university, Taiwan, in 1959, M.S. in
structural engineering from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1963,
and Ph.D. in solid mechanics from Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island in
1966. Dr. Chen’s research interests cover several
areas, including constitutive modeling of engineering materials, soil and
concrete plasticity, structural connections, and structural stability. He is
the recipient of numerous engineering awards, including the AISC T.R. Higgins
Lectureship Award, the ASCE Raymond C. Reese Research Prize, and the ASCE
Shortridge Hardesty Award. He was elected to the national Academy of
engineering in1995, and was awarded an Honorary Membership in the American
Society of Civil Engineers in1997. He was most recently elected to the Academia
Sinica in Taiwan. Lian Duan is a Senior Bridge Engineer with
the California Department of Transportation, U.S., and Professor of Structural
Engineering at Taiyuan University of Technology, China.
He received his B.S. in civil engineering
in1975, M.S. in structural engineering in 1981 from Taiyuan University of
Technology, and Ph.D. in structural engineering from Pardue University, West
Lafayette, Indiana in1990. Dr. Duan worked at the Northeastern China Power
Design Institute from 1975 to 1978. |
