It is one of the most beautiful book that I have read and studied before. From beginning to end all valuable ideas are in order.All kind of bridges (arch,suspended...)are avaliable.Spported with nice sketches and photos of bridges from all over the world.Giving an inspritation to an Engineer.

This text does a very good job on demonstrating material with lots of sample problems. It also avoids tedious derivations of formulas that should already be second nature by the time you use a book of this level.

IT cover all aspects of bridge design. You will find any topic related to bridge design in this book. It will give a good introductory knowledge, then you can move to more specific books. Examples are clear and good.

The book came with chapter 11 incomplete. Besides this, chapters 11 and 12 are all mixed up. It's very expensive for me to return the item, so I have to keep it this way.

.Book about everything in bridge design that gives nothing usable..briefly explained topics,poor quality of graphics and photos,lack of important details and discussion about them etc.. are only some of remarks,...theoretic and to general....worth mentioning is section regarding seismic design...find another book on bridge design

I still don't understand why these book descriptions don't say what units are used. This entire book is in Metric and is pretty much useless to me other than the basic theory. I also have the Design of Highway Bridges by Barker Puckett and it is metric as well. At least include design examples in English units also! So be warned, if you want an excellent bridge engineering handbook that uses English units then this book is not for you!
