Opis

Bridges need substantial investment in maintenance and upgrading if they are to function effectively throughout their planned life. This volume provides an overview of the latest international thinking on cost-effective engineering management of bridge structures. It forms the Proceedings of the Third International Conference on the subject held at the University of Surrey, 1996.
