Product Description Design, rehabilitate, and maintain modern highway bridges. From steel and reinforced concrete design, to highway layout and basic geometrics, to geotechnical engineering and hydraulics, Demetrios E. Tonia's Bridge Engineering: Design, Rehabilitation, and Maintenance of Modern Highway Bridges fully integrates the resources you need to master the entire bridge-design process. Written with unusual clarity--and packed with timely design examples and case studies plus eye-opening sidebars and graphics--it shows you how to: understand bridge structures, functions, types, and applications; design superstructures and substructures for maximum maintainability; design highway components--approach pavements and slabs, structure geometrics and elevations, roadway alignments, and more; kick off the project--from funding to site surveying and coring; manage the design process--contract documents, reports, plans, client interactions, and more; manage the bridge itself--from creating a structure inventory to extending GIS and CADD functionality. | ||

Outstanding Undergraduate Text for Bridge Engineering This book is excellent because of its wide range of coverage; it is easily accessible by any civil engineering undergraduate student who has had one or two courses in structures, yet it does justice to a vast topic. In addition, it covers topics that go well beyond structural design decisions and include many other aspects of design, maintenance, management, rehabilitation, and load rating. | ||
Very fun to read As a structural engineering student, I found this book very fun to read. That is different from all the books I have read about bridge engineering. | ||
I can see four shooting stars This book is interesting and factual. You learn so much about bridges including how they work. If you're only going to buy 1 book this summer make it this one. | ||
