Two missing chapters in this book

July 19, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book called Design of Highway Bridges lacks two chapters that are mentioned in the preface by the authors and therefore, it is incomplete design purpose. The title that may fit this book is Highway Superstructures design. The two chapters are on Substructures Design. I believe that the book is incomplete to use for a first course of bridge design, since it does not cover important subjects. My recommendation is not to buy it until the two missing chapters are added. Look for somewhere else, do not waste your money.

It is an extraordinary text book for Bridge Design courses. The book has a didactic presentation, clear for students, and it has examples of application of the AASTHO LRDF code. The examples are well-defined and well explained.
