The Design of Prestressed Concrete Bridges
The book is organised as follows:
The meaning and nature of design as opposed to analysis is discussed in
Chapter 1.
Chapter 2 is an introduction to some basic structural engineering concepts and
to the specialised vocabulary used in the book. It is for the convenience of nonengineers.
Chapter 3 is an introduction to reinforced concrete as this is necessary to understand
the later chapters.
Chapters 4, 5 and 6 explain the principles of prestressing.
Chapter 7 is concerned with the articulation of bridges and the design of substructure.
Chapter 8 describes the logic that underpins the design of decks for girder bridges,
and gives benchmarks for the material quantities that should be achieved.
Chapter 9 analyses the function of each of the components of a bridge deck.
Chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13 describe the different types of bridge deck.
Chapters 14 and 15 are devoted to the methods of construction of bridge decks.
Chapter 16 is a synthesis of the preceding chapters, describing how the scale
of a bridge project infl uences the choice of the type of deck and its method of
construction.
Finally, Chapters 17 and 18 deal with arches and suspended decks which follow a
different logic from girder decks.
