Description
|
There are some 600,000 officially listed bridges in the Federal Highway Administration's "National Bridge Inventiry." Nearly 25% are deemed to be in imminent danger of failure, while two thirds of these bridges lack mandatory safety and engineering features. These infrastructure needs will continue to create demand at both the academic and professional engineering level for up-to-date, reliable guidance in current bridge technology. And as part of the general discipline of structural engineering, this book fits well within Wiley's traditional strengths in engineering publishing at both the professional and academic level. In addition, advances in bridge technology, coupled with significant, recent revisions to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) bridge specifications necessitate a new, revised edition of this important Wiley book.
