A box girder bridge is a bridge in which the main beams comprise girders in the shape of a hollow box. The box girder normally comprises either prestressed concrete, structural steel, or a composite of steel and reinforced concrete. The box is typically rectangular or trapezoidal in cross-section. Box girder bridges are commonly used for […]

Development of a Comprehensive Design Example for a Steel Girder Bridge with Commentary Design Process Flowcharts for Superstructure and Substructure Designs Prepared by Michael Baker Jr., Inc.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the following: 1. Designing new and replacement bridges to resist scour 2. Evaluating existing bridges for vulnerability to scour 3. Inspecting bridges for scour 4. Improving the state-of-practice of estimating scour at bridges

The result of substantial efforts during the past three years, now in your hands, is an account of recent developments in those aspects of highway bridge superstructures, which have been of direct interest to the authors during the last two decades in particular. The book is organized in eleven free-standing chapters, each of which focuses

Design of Highway Bridges offers detailed coverage of engineering basics for the design of short- and medium-span bridges. Based on the new American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, this comprehensive text is an excellent engineering resource. The book contains: * A historical overview of bridge engineering * Information

In a straightforward style, this book presents a detailed overview of 20 cases of famous and other highly interesting bridge collapses over the last two centuries. Every case is illustrated and described in detail and the failure analyses made are supported by well-known explanations and, in some cases, by new theories. The chronological order makes

This manual provides policies and guidelines set forth by TxDOT regarding the design of bridges. It has been developed to help bridge designers working on TxDOT projects. The manual contains ten chapters – Organizational Overview, TxDOT and Bridge Design, Design Specifications, Geometric Restraints, Preliminary Considerations, General Design Controls, Superstructure Design, Substructure Design, Special Designs, and

This book describes the underlying behaviour of steel and concrete bridge decks. It shows how complex structures can be analysed with physical reasoning and relatively simple computer models and without complicated mathematics.

An extensively illustrated handbook summarizing the current state of the art of design and construction methods for all types of segmental bridges. Covers construction methodology, design techniques, economics, and erection of girder type bridges; arch, rigid frame, and truss bridges; cable-stayed bridges; and railroad bridges.

This guide describes the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability and durability of concrete bridges.

The Engineers, who join this organisation, have to study various codes and books for considerable time to bring themselves up to a desired level of knowledge, as many of them are not in touch with the requisite literature. They do not get proper references at the required moment. They do not precisely know the practices

Health Monitoring of Bridges prepares the bridge engineeringcommunity for the exciting new technological developments happeningin the industry, offering the benefit of much research carried outin the aerospace and other industrial sectors and discussing thelatest methodologies available for the management of bridge stock. Health Monitoring of Bridges: Includes chapters on the hardware used in health monitoring,methodologies,

SAP2000/Bridge? is an analysis and design program for bridge structures. The ease with which complex bridge structures can be modeled has made the SAP2000/Bridge? program the most useful bridge analysis and design program in the industry. Using SAP2000/Bridge?, engineers can easily define complex bridge geometries, boundary conditions and load cases. The bridge models are defined

The shear and combined shear and torsion provisions of the AASHTO LRFD (2008) Bridge Design Specifications, as well as simplified AASHTO procedure for prestressed and non-prestressed reinforced concrete members were investigated and compared to their equivalent ACI 318-08 provisions. Response-2000, an analytical tool developed based on the Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT), was first validated
