About this ebook

Bridges, vital components of our infrastructure, demand meticulous engineering and construction. Bridge Construction explores the complex world where structural integrity meets environmental resilience, ensuring these monumental structures stand the test of time. Load-bearing capacity is paramount, enabling bridges to withstand immense weight, while environmental resilience protects against natural forces like wind and seismic activity. This book uniquely combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications, emphasizing the entire lifecycle of a bridge, from design to decommissioning.

The book begins by introducing structural engineering basics, detailing bridge types and their strengths. It progresses into material science, examining concrete, steel, and composites under varying conditions, and concludes with environmental considerations like hydrological studies and seismic risk assessment.

Case studies of notable bridges highlight design, construction, and performance, offering insights into real-world applications, making it a valuable resource for understanding bridge design and construction.
