Review
This is the second edition of a book which, since its first publication in 1976, has become one of the most widely used in bridge design offices...The first edition was the best book of its kind. The second edition is better. - New Civil Engineer
The first edition will be familiar to most bridge engineers, who will only need to be assured that the high standard set there has been maintained. - The Structural Engineer

Good for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hambly: Bridge Deck Behaviour (Hardcover)
Faced with a detailed design of a reinforced concrete bridge for the first time, I was floundering. I am a mining engineer by training, you see, and went into the civil engineering trade. But Hambly came to my rescue. The book presents basic concepts in the analysis of bridge decks in a less cryptic manner than most academic books, and upon reading and re-reading, one should find that many concepts required in bridge deck analysis are presented quite well here.
