The handbook begins with an analysis of the history and development of bridge aesthetics and design; various types of loads including seismic and wind loads are then described, together with fatigue and fracture. Bridge design based on material such as reinforced concrete, prestressed reinforced concrete, steel and composite, timber, masonry bridges is analyzed and detailed according to international codes and standards. Then bridge design based on geometry, such as arch bridges, girders, cable stayed and suspension bridges, is illustrated. This is followed by a discussion of a number of special topics, including integral, movable, highway and railway bridges, together with seismic component devices, cables, orthotropic decks, foundations, and case studies. Finally, bridge construction equipment, bridge assessment retrofit and management, bridge monitoring, fiber-reinforced polymers to reinforce bridges, bridge collapse issues are covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection I Fundamentals\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter1 The history, aesthetics, and design of bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection II Loads on bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Loads on bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Wind loads\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Fatigue and fracture\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection III Structural analysis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Bridge structural theory and modeling\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Dynamics of bridge structures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Risk and reliability in bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Innovative structural typologies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection IV Bridge design based on construction material type\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Steel and composite bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Timber bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Masonry bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection V Bridge design based on geometry\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 Arch bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Girders\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Long-span bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection VI Special topics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16 Integral bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17 Movable bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18 Highway bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19 Railway bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection VII Bridge components\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 20 Seismic component devices\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 21 Cables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 22 Orthotropic steel decks\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 23 Bridge foundations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection VIII Bridge construction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 24 Case study: the Reno bridge\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 25 Case study: the Russky bridge\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 26 Case study: the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 27 Bridge construction equipment\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection IX: Assessment, managment, retrofit, monitoring and rehabilitation of existing bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 28 Bridge assessment, retrofit, and management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 29 Bridge monitoring\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 30 Application of fiber-reinforced polymers to reinforced concrete bridges\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 31 Bridge collapse \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Bridges [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Bridges\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Bridges%20%5BTNCJ%5D%22\"\u003eTNCJ\u003c\/a\u003e], Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp;
