I have not read Priestly MJN, Seible F, et.al.,"Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges," 1996 till now but I wish to. If someone have this book please post it. I have the first book Paulay T and Priestly MJN, "Seismic Deisgn of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings," 1992 and I have posted in the forum.
I scanned through the book but they haven't mentioned about the design philosophy i.e., why strong beam weak column principle is used for bridge design.
