Integral and semi-integral bridges / Martin P. Burke.

ISBN 9781405194181 (hardback : alk. paper)
1. Concrete bridges—Design and construction. 2. Concrete bridges—Joints. I. Title.
This edition first published 2009.
This book is not a primer on the analysis, design, and construction of continuous bridges, or on the design of many of the common components of integral and semi - integral bridges, components that are typical of all deck - type highway bridges. These subjects are described and discussed in many excellent textbooks that have been developed and published by others especially for that purpose. Rather, this book focuses on those subjects that are of signifi cance for the design and construction of integral and semi - integral bridges, subjects that generally are not described and discussed elsewhere.
