Synopsis

Tens of thousands of soil-steel bridges can be found in North America alone. Unfortunately, many of these short spans are in serious distress - largely because of a lack of reliable design and construction data. This practical guide contains the technical information that should enable engineers to design and construct safe, economical soil-steel bridges, avoid the pitfalls - including metal corrosion - that lead to distress and failure, and restore bridges that are in disrepair. The book includes complete coverage of US and Canadian design codes, as well as such neglected topics as the mechanics of soil-steel bridges, their special design features, the engineering properties of soil relevant to bridge design and construction, and the design of bridges that serve as conduits for water.
