ORTHOTROPIC BRIDGES-THEORY AND DESIGN

A THOROUGH REFERENCE DESCRIBES THE EVALUATION, THEORY AND APPLICATION OF ORTHOTROPIC DESIGN. CHARTS, TABLES, PHOTOGRAPHS AND DIAGRAMS ARE USED TO SHOW TYPICAL ORTHOTROPIC BRIDGES, DECK PLATE ANALYSIS AND OPTIMUM DECK DESIGN. THE BASIC THEORY IS PRESENTED THEN THE ACTUAL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS ILLUSTRATED. THE TEXT IS CONFINED TO SUPERSTRUCTURE PROBLEMS AND EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF THE ORTHOTROPIC TYPE DECK, ALTHOUGH ITS PARTICIPATION AS AN INTEGRAL UNIT OF THE MAIN BRIDGE SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED. /CGRA/
