Transportation Structures Over, Under, and Across to 2020 and Beyond: Targeting a Service Life of 100 Years

Increases in traffic volumes and weights require stronger and more resilient structures, designed to be built quickly, last longer, and meet environment-related needs. Traced here are advances to be expected in the areas of general structures, steel and concrete bridges, bridge dynamics and performance, seismic design and retrofit, culverts and hydraulic structures, and tunnels and underground structures.
