Bridge Engineering Handbook: Substructure Design

An expansive technical guide covering the entire life cycle of bridge structures. This second edition is organized into five specialized volumes that address everything from basic theory and superstructure design to seismic resistance and ongoing maintenance. The provided excerpts focus specifically on substructure design, highlighting the critical role of components like foundations, piers, and abutments. A significant portion of the text details various bearing types, such as elastomeric, pot, and spherical versions, which facilitate load transfer and structural movement. By blending expert contributions with practical design examples, the handbook provides a global perspective on both traditional and innovative engineering practices. It is intended to function as a primary reference for professional engineers, consultants, and students within the field.
