About this episode
Focusing on the practical aspects of concrete bridge design and construction. It covers a vast range of topics including the economic and aesthetic evaluation of various deck forms—such as voided slabs and box sections—and the relative merits of using reinforced versus prestressed concrete based on span length. Furthermore, the manual details critical structural engineering calculations, addressing loading requirements (including abnormal loads and environmental factors like wind and temperature), as well as analysis methods for bridge decks, such as grillage analysis. Finally, it provides guidance on substructure design (piers, abutments, and foundations), temporary works like falsework and formwork, and the necessary contract documents and site supervision for bridge projects.
