Bridge Design for Economy and Durability: Concepts for New, Strengthened and Replacement Bridges

This comprehensive book describes a number of new or updated bridging concepts which were developed and successfully applied during the author's forty years of close involvement with UK and international bridge design, construction, maintenance and research. The concepts mainly apply to the small/medium span range of bridges and viaducts and contribute to one or more of the following features: design and construction economy in both time and money; ease of inspection and minimum maintenance; ride quality and safety; good appearance; and strengthening when required with minimum traffic disruption.
