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...

This volume contains the papers presented at the Third International Conference on Bridge Management, held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK on 14-17 April 1996.
The main objective of this research is to correlate the deformation and internal force of the approach slab with the approach embankment settlements and the approach slab parameters such as length and thickness. Finite element analysis was carried out in the present study. This correlation will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of approach slabs and develop guidelines for their structural design. This information will also help determine when settlement controls are necessary. While flat approach slabs may be used for some short span applications, longer span lengths would require very thick slabs. In such cases, ribbed approach slabs (similar to slab-on-beam bridge decks) are proposed i...
