HYDRAULIC FACTORS IN BRIDGE DESIGN

This book discusses the many aspects of river engineering that are relevant to bridge design. There are chapters on river morphology, surveys, discharge and water levels, scour, forces on bridge piers, and bank protection. A step by step design procedure is suggested and case histories are discussed. (TRRL)
