Publisher Description
Vehicle-bridge interaction happens all the time on roadway bridges and this interaction performance carries much useful information. On one hand, while vehicles are traditionally viewed as loads for bridges, they can also be deemed as sensors for bridges' structural response. On the other hand, while bridges are traditionally viewed as carriers for vehicle weight, they can also be deemed as scales that can weigh the vehicle loads. Based on these observations, a broad area of studies based on the vehicle-bridge interaction have been conducted in the authors' research group. Understanding the vehicle and bridge interaction can help develop strategies for bridge condition assessment, bridge design, and bridge maintenance, as well as develop insight for new research needs.This book documents fundamental knowledge, new developments, and state-of-the-art applications related to vehicle-bridge interactions. It thus provides useful information for graduate students and researchers and therefore straddles the gap between theoretical research and practical applications.
Over 140 experts, 14 countries, and 89 chapters are represented in the second edition of the Bridge Engineering Handbook. This extensive collection provides detailed information on bridge engineering, and thoroughly explains the concepts and practical applications surrounding the subject, and also highlights bridges from around the world. This second edition of the bestselling Bridge Engineering Handbook covers virtually all the information an engineer would need to know about any type of bridge-from planning to construction to maintenance. It contains more than 2,500 tables, charts, and illustrations in a practical, ready-to-use format. An abundance of worked-out examples gives readers numerous practical step-by-step design procedures. Special attention is given to rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance. Coverage also includes seismic design and building materials. Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition contains 26 new chapters.
