This book offers a valuable guide for practicing bridge engineers and graduate students in structural engineering; its main purpose is to present the latest concepts in bridge engineering in fairly easy-to-follow terms.

The book provides details of easy-to-use computer programs for:

. Analysing slab-on-girder bridges for live load distribution.

. Analysing slab and other solid bridge components for live load distribution.

. Analysing and designing concrete deck slab overhangs of girder bridges under vehicular loads.

. Determining the failure loads of concrete...
