978-0-12-800058-8 (ISBN)
The Innovative Bridge Design Handbook: Construction, Rehabilitation, and Maintenance brings together the specific knowledge of a bevy of experts and academics in bridge engineering in the areas of design, assessment, research, and construction. The handbook begins with an analysis of the history and development of bridge aesthetics and design; various types of loads including seismic and wind loads are then described, together with fatigue and fracture. Bridge design based on material such as reinforced concrete, prestressed reinforced concrete, steel and composite, timber, masonry bridges is analyzed and detailed according to international codes and standards. Then bridge design based on geometry, such as arch bridges, girders, cable stayed and suspension bridges, is illustrated. This is followed by a discussion of a number of special topics, including integral, movable, highway and railway bridges, together with seismic component devices, cables, orthotropic decks, foundations, and case studies. Finally, bridge construction equipment, bridge assessment retrofit and management, bridge monitoring, fiber-reinforced polymers to reinforce bridges, bridge collapse issues are covered.
Alessio Pipinato is the CEO, Technical and Scientific Director of the engineering consulting firm Alessio Pipinato and Partners. He is an Engineer for the executive design and construction supervision of bridges, viaducts, public buildings and a member of international associations including the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS), Collegio Ingegneri Ferroviari Italiani (CIFI), and American Institute of Architects (AIA). He has also served as the National Expert Member of the UNI-CT21 Technical Commission “Structural Engineering, and as Associate Editor of the Journal of Bridge Engineering, ASCE. During his career, which included over a decade as Professor of structural engineering and bridge engineering at the University of Padova, Italy, he has authored more than 250 publications in international journals, books, and conference proceedings.
