Reinforced Concrete Construction, Vol. 2: Bridges and Culverts delves into the essential principles and practices of reinforced concrete as applied to bridge and culvert design. Authored by George A. Hool and supplemented by Frank C. Thiessen, this volume offers a detailed exploration of structural mechanics, material properties, and construction techniques relevant to these critical infrastructure components.
The book covers a range of topics, from load analysis and distribution to the design of various bridge types, including slab bridges, girder bridges, and arch bridges. Special attention is given to the unique challenges posed by culvert design, ensuring thorough understanding of hydraulic considerations and structural integrity. Featuring clear explanations, illustrative examples, and practical design charts, this book serves as an invaluable resource for civil engineers, architects, and students seeking to master the art of reinforced concrete bridge and culvert construction.
