Author: Petros P. Xanthakos (Author) | Size: 1,398 KB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Prentice Hall; Facsimile edition | Year: June 30, 1995 | pages: 864 | ISBN: 0133006174, 9780133006179
An essential reference for engineers, public works administrators and contractors, researchers and students, this book provides a systematic study of bridge substructure and foundation elements, presents explicit methods of analysis, design and detailing, and offers case studies. It reflects the distinct evolution in bridge design concepts, theories, and analysis methods that has recently taken place.
From the Publisher:
Helps engineers optimize both structural reliability and economy by presenting both traditional allowable stress design concepts and newer, statistically-based load and resistance factor methodologies.

Bridge Foundations and Substructures (Building Research Establishment Report)
Size: 1.4 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Stationery Office Books | Year: 1979 | ISBN: 0116707615
This report on Bridge Foundations and Substructures summarises the findings of a survey of the attitudes of bridge designers in the United Kingdom. The objective of the survey was to gain some idea of the philosophies adopted by engineers in their choices of different types of foundations and substructures and of different methods of analysis.
The report was also expected to highlight those areas where further guidance and research are required, and where fInancial savings might be effected.
The survey initially involved discussions during 1975/76 with about 120 experienced engineers within 46 organisations acknowledged below. During 1977 a considerable amount of additional advice and comment was added as a result of detailed criticism of a preliminary draft by the Steering Committee. The subsequent Draft Commentary on Current Practice in Design of Bridge Foundations and Substructures was published by the Building Research Establishment to stimulate public comment and it formed the text for a Seminar held at the Building Research Station in October 1977 attended by about 150 engineers. A considerable quantity of further comment, advice and criticism was collected at the Seminar and received in writing from bridge designers in the UK and abroad. This information has also been incorporated in this report.
