This book follows the principle of limit state design incorporated in the revised Indian Roads Congress Codes—IRC: 6-2014 and IRC: 112-2011, for the design of different types of prestressed concrete bridges. An integrated design approach involving limit states of strength and serviceability has been followed for the design of various types of bridges covering the slab, tee beam and slab, continuous span, box girder, rigid frame and cable stayed bridges commonly used for national highway crossings.
This monograph lays special emphasis on conceptual clarity through theory, design, construction, inspection, maintenance, repairs and rehabilitation of bridges, fortified with numerous design examples and illustrations. Salient features Conforms to the latest codes of practice IRC: 6–2014; IRC: 112–2011 and IS: 1343–2012 Detailed theory, design, construction, inspection, maintenance, repairs and rehabilitation of bridges, well supported by numerous design examples and illustrations Practice examples supplemented with exhaustive number of references, review and objective questions with detailed illustration for better understanding Assignments to enhance problem-solving skills/practice

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
