Bridge and Highway Structure Rehabilitation and Repair

The primary theme of this book is to present an overall view of the engineering required for the efficient and cost effective rehabilitation and repair of existing highway bridges. The author takes into account recent advancements in analytics and design techniques, changes in AASHTO design codes, design criteria revisions that include earthquake engineering and foundation scour from floods, increases in traffic volume, and the development of modern materials technology. The topics covered include administrative issues, diagnostic design and reconstruction, bridge failure studies, fracture and failure analytics, bridge widening and deck replacement, inspection monitoring techniques, concrete repairs and the protection of bridges during extreme events.
