Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prestressed concrete decks are commonly used for bridges with spans between 25m and 450m and provide economic, durable and aesthetic solutions in most situations where bridges are needed. Concrete remains the most common material for bridge construction around the world, and prestressed concrete is frequently the material of choice. Extensively illustrated throughout, this invaluable book brings together all aspects of designing prestressed concrete bridge decks into one comprehensive volume. The book clearly explains the principles behind both the design and construction of prestressed concrete bridges, illustrating the interaction between the two. It covers all the different types of deck arrangement and the construction techniques used, ranging from in-situ slabs and precast beams; segmental construction and launched bridges; and cable-stayed structures. Included throughout the book are many examples of the different types of prestressed concrete decks used, with the design aspects of each discussed along with the general analysis and design process. Detailed descriptions of the prestressing components and systems used are also included. Prestressed Concrete Bridges is an essential reference book for both the experienced engineer and graduate who want to learn more about the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A How-To Guide for Bridge Engineers and Designers Highway Bridge Superstructure Engineering: LRFD Approaches to Design and Analysis provides a detailed discussion of traditional structural design perspectives, and serves as a state-of-the-art resource on the latest design and analysis of highway bridge superstructures. This book is applicable to highway bridges of all construction and material types, and is based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy. It discusses the theory of probability (with an explanation leading to the calibration process and reliability), and includes fully solved design examples of steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge superstructures. It also contains step-by-step calculations for determining the distribution factors for several different types of bridge superstructures (which form the basis of load and resistance design specifications) and can be found in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Fully Realize the Basis and Significance of LRFD Specifications Divided into six chapters, this instructive text: Introduces bridge engineering as a discipline of structural design Describes numerous types of highway bridge superstructures systems Presents a detailed discussion of various types of loads that act on bridge superstructures and substructures Discusses the methods of analyses of highway bridge superstructures Includes a detailed discussion of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges, and slab-steel girder bridges Highway Bridge Superstructure Engineering: LRFD Approaches to Design and Analysis can be used for teaching highway bridge design courses to undergraduate- and graduate-level classes, and as an excellent resource for practicing engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed to comply with the fifth edition of the AASHTO LFRD Bridge Design Specifications [2010]––Simplified LRFD Bridge Design is "How To" use the Specifications book. Most engineering books utilize traditional deductive practices, beginning with in-depth theories and progressing to the application of theories. The inductive method in the book uses alternative approaches, literally teaching backwards. The book introduces topics by presenting specific design examples. Theories can be understood by students because they appear in the text only after specific design examples are presented, establishing the need to know theories. The emphasis of the book is on step-by-step design procedures of highway bridges by the LRFD method, and "How to Use" the AASHTO Specifications to solve design problems. Some of the design examples and practice problems covered include: Load combinations and load factors Strength limit states for superstructure design Design Live Load HL- 93 Un-factored and Factored Design Loads Fatigue Limit State and fatigue life; Service Limit State Number of design lanes Multiple presence factor of live load Dynamic load allowance Distribution of Live Loads per Lane Wind Loads, Earthquake Loads Plastic moment capacity of composite steel-concrete beam LRFR Load Rating Simplified LRFD Bridge Design is a study guide for engineers preparing for the PE examination as well as a classroom text for civil engineering students and a reference for practicing engineers. Eight design examples and three practice problems describe and introduce the use of articles, tables, and figures from the AASHTO LFRD Bridge Design Specifications. Whenever articles, tables, and figures in examples appear throughout the text, AASHTO LRFD specification numbers are also cited, so that users can cross-reference the material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Fall of 1951, as a result of an agreement between the Portland Cement Association and the Missouri State Highway Department, with the approval and good wishes of the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Public Roads, the State Highway Department embarked on a program to design and construct several precast, prestressed, and precast-prestressed concrete highway bridges. The purpose of this extensive program being to indicate to State Highway officials and other interested parties the advantages of these types of construction. In the words of Mr. S.W. O'Brien, District Engineer for the Bureau of Public Roads, "The use of a precast deck (girder) would begin a practice that may lead to worthwhile economies in secondary bridges of short spans." The two primary advantages of small precast concrete highway bridges are (1) the contractors could form and cast the girders at a time and a site that was convenient to their labor, equipment, and material supplies, and (2) they require a much shorter construction period. The first advantage mentioned above would allow the contractor to form and cast the girders during his otherwise slack season at an economical location. He would thereby have an increased annual volume of business and a more stable and experienced staff of employees on his payroll. The second advantage mentioned would eliminate long delays in getting the structure open to traffic. Both advantages indicate a big saving in time, labor, money, and material to the contractor, most of which will unquestionably be reflected back to the State Highway Department. The difficulty with this type of design is in finding an economical girder section. The most desirable girder section is one in which the design stresses for both the concrete and the reinforcing steel are approaching their maximum allowable stresses. In attempting to find a desirable section, the allowable design stresses for concrete were varied from 1000 pounds per square inch to 1500 pounds per square inch, while the design stress for reinforcing steel remained constant at 18,000 pounds per square inch"--Abstract, leaves 1-2
