Timely, authoritative, extremely practical--an exhaustive guide tothe nontheoretical aspects of bridge planning and design. This bookaddresses virtually all practical problems associated with theplanning and design of steel and concrete bridge superstructuresand substructures. Drawing on its author's nearly half-century as abridge designer and engineer, it offers in-depth coverage of suchcrucial considerations as selecting the optimum location andlayout, traffic flow, aesthetics, design, analysis, construction,current codes and government regulations, maintenance andrehabilitation, and much more.
* Offers in-depth coverage of all the steps involved in performingproper planning and design with comparative analyses of alternativesolutions
* Includes numerous examples and case studies of existing bridgesand important projects underway around the world
* Features a time-line history of bridge building from pre-Romantimes to the present
* Summarizes key technical data essential to bridgeengineering
* Supplemented with 200 line drawings and photos vividlyillustrating all concepts presented
* Comprehensive coverage of CAD planning, design, and analysistechniques and technologies

About the author M. S. TROITSKY, PhD, has had extensive practical experience as a bridge engineer, designer, and consultant. After earning his doctorate in structural engineering from the University of Belgrade in 1943, he worked for twelve years as chief bridge engineer for the Foundation Company of Canada. There, he was responsible for the design and construction monitoring of nine major steel bridges, including arch, plate girder, suspension, truss, and cable-stayed bridges. He has also done consulting to private firms on structural problems, worked on the design of one cable-stayed bridge, and served as a primary designer on a two-span truss bridge reinforced by cables. Currently, Dr. Troitsky is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal. He has also taught at the University of Montreal and McGill University, and at the University of California, Los Angeles.
