Synopsis

This book offers a novel perspective on bridge design, focusing on the crucial yet often neglected relationship between bridges and the rivers they cross. The author highlights five primary types of bridges, each adapted to varying river characteristics, debunking the notion that all bridges follow a universal design. By emphasizing the river's behavior as a key factor, the book challenges traditional approaches that prioritize bridge structures over the natural environment. The author draws on examples from both developed and developing countries to illustrate the practical implications of his approach, offering valuable insights for engineers, planners, and policymakers involved in bridge construction. This book revolutionizes bridge design by integrating riverine dynamics into the planning process, resulting in more sustainable and cost-effective crossings.
