Every nation needs the infrastructure to carry out all kinds of activities related to the improvement and service of society. The planning, design and construction process for any bridge appears to be logical and necessary steps, looking for good behavior of the structure during any traffic load, or resisting floods or seismic events. This book presents an advance in the state-of-the-art and current knowledge on all subjects of bridge engineering, from conceptual design to service life. The topics focused are bridge design, bridge construction, bridge maintenance, management, repair and strengthening of existing bridges. Bridge aesthetics, social impact and life-cycle performance of bridges are also covered.
