Concrete Segmental Bridges delivers a comprehensive guide to the theory, design, and construction of segmental concrete bridges in accordance with AASHTO LRFD Specifications. This authoritative resource is ideal for bridge engineers, civil engineering students, and transportation infrastructure professionals seeking a practical, design-oriented reference.
Segmental concrete bridges are increasingly favored for major roadway and transit projects due to their construction speed, adaptability to curved alignments, aesthetic appeal, and cost-efficiency. Unlike other texts focused primarily on construction, this book offers a critical design perspective—bridging the gap between theoretical fundamentals and real-world application.
This book provides in-depth insight into the structural behavior, analytical techniques, and step-by-step design processes of segmental bridge types. It includes straightforward design examples for each bridge type, helping engineers better understand the relationship between theory, specifications, construction techniques, and long-term performance.
