<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A bridge in civil engineering is a structure that provides passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The design of short- and medium-span bridges has not changed much over the last decade, but the industry has been significantly impacted by the onset of new construction methods and project delivery methods, stronger materials and disruptive technologies. Construction methods such as Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) have improved work-zone safety by reducing onsite construction time. Project delivery methods such as Design-Build and P3 have allowed for Departments of Transportation to innovate and deliver large projects faster and cost-effectively. Advancements in the science of concrete materials have led to the development of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), the ideal material for existing highway bridge repair and replacement. Engineers are now utilizing 3-D analysis methods for modeling complex structural configurations in greater detail leading to more accurate analysis results"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The latest in bridge design and analysis--revised to reflect the eighth edition of the AASHTO LRFD specifications</b></p> <p><i>Design of Highway Bridges: An LRFD Approach, 4th Edition</i>, offers up-to-date coverage of engineering fundamentals for the design of short- and medium-span bridges. Fully updated to incorporate the 8<sup>th</sup> Edition of the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design Specifications, this invaluable resource offers civil engineering students and practitioners a a comprehensive introduction to the latest construction methods and materials in bridge design, including Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC), ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC), and Practical 3D Rigorous Analysis. This updated Fourth Edition offers: </p> <ul> <li>Dozens of end-of-chapter worked problems and design examples based on the latest AASHTO LRFD Specifications.</li> <li>Access to a Solutions Manual and multiple bridge plans including cast-in-place, precast concrete, and steel multi-span available on the Instructor's companion website</li> </ul> <p>From gaining base knowledge of the AASHTO LRFD specifications to detailed guidance on highway bridge design, <i>Design of Highway Bridges</i> is the one-stop reference for civil engineering students and a key study resource for those seeking engineering licensure through the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The late <b>RICHARD M.
