Methods of transverse load distribution analysis of highway bridges range in sophistication from the overly simplified American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) methods to highly complex finite element methods. The former, because of being too simple, are excessively conservative, and the latter, which require fairly complex standard programs, are prone to common errors of idealization and interpretation of results as well as being relatively costly. This book is a companion volume to Bridge Analysis Simplified (McGraw-Hill, 1985). The earlier book expands upon the simple AASHTO approach to provide a number of more accurate manual methods of analysis for application in conjunction with North American and similar codes. Our objective in writing this second work is to provide to bridge designers alternative methods of bridge analysis which are refined, which can be implemented through even the most basic microcomputer, and which do not have the limitations of the simplified methods.

Most highway bridges in North America are designed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) specifications. A principal assumption underlying the analysis methods of AASHTO is that bridges of a given type (e.g., slab-on-steel girder bridges) all behave similarly in their live-load distribution properties. By contrast with the North American tradition, bridge analysis in Europe tends to be highly analytical and, usually, computer-based. Such methods as the grillage analogy method, the orthotropic plate method, and the finite element and finite strip methods are extensively used. This book presents a number of simple methods of analysis which expand upon the AASHTO approach, making it consistent with the more refined European methods. The simple methods presented in this book are derived from the results of computer-based rigorous analyses. The book is intended to be useful both to the practicing bridge engineer and to the engineering student. It thus contains both "know-how" and "know-why" material. For the most part the know-why material is to be found in Chapter 1, while the remaining chapters constitute a know how treatment which is virtually complete in itself. The book is also intended to bring home to the reader the physical behavior of bridges of different types and to help the designer in establishing a "feel'' for the mechanisms of load distributions.

The construction of bridges comprises one section of the work of the civil engineer which has an immediate 1mpact upon the public.
The reasons for this impact are not hard to find since most major bridges combine a strong visual impression together with obvious benefits in the way of improved communications.
The action of bridging hitherto impassable barriers also inspires a deep and dramatic sense of achievement.
Bridge-building has occupied much of the working lives of the great civil engineers in the last century and a half.
In the light of recent publicity over the failure of bridges during construction it is almost unnecessary to emphasize that professional skill and ingenuity of the highest order are involved.
In a recent paper Dr. Kerensky aptly expressed the feelings of a bridge engineer with the words: 'Design and construction of bridges is a lifelong calling-exacting and rewarding'.
It is evident from its title that this book is concerned primarily with limited aspects of bridge design.
These will be defined later in this first chapter but, initially, in order to provide a general introduction to the subject, current trends in bridge design and construction will be outlined.

A multidisciplinary and accessible introduction to humanity’s favorite structure: the bridge.
Whether you are a student considering a career in civil engineering and transportation planning, a public official interested in the future of infrastructure, or a person who simply cares about bridges, this book offers an accessible and illustrated introduction to the most beloved feature of our built environment. Learn about engineering basics: the forces that bridges must resist to stay aloft and the principles by which engineers decide which types of bridges make sense at which sites. Find out how engineers protect bridges from their greatest threats—the earthquakes, floods, and other hazards that can cause catastrophic damage.
Moving from engineering to planning, learn how we decide whether a bridge is worth building in the first place, learn about controversial features of cost-benefit analysis, and about the transportation models by which planners forecast bridge effects on traffic patterns. Investigate a sometimes intractable problem: why a project often creeps along for a decade or more to get from initial studies to the day the ribbon is cut, undergoing vast cost escalations. Also explore the environmental impact of bridges, and the meaning of a “sustainable bridge,” and whether bridges could once again be built, like ancient Roman ones, to last a thousand years.
“Authoritative, comprehensive, and fun to read, this book is for everyone interested in bridges, from the lay reader to the techie who likes to see how things work. It also will serve as an excellent companion to beginning design students in architecture and engineering, and it should be on the shelf of civil engineers, architects, and contractors, too.” — Robert E. Paaswell, City College of New York
“This work will help educated but nonspecialist decision makers to appreciate the complexity of bridge design, construction, and maintenance in making decisions that impact bridges.” — Niraj Verma, Virginia Commonwealth University
