Overview

Bridge Superstructure deals with the behaviour of different types of bridge decks under different systems of loading. Mathematical modeling and the behaviour of different types of bridge decks are clearly explained, with the distinctions between solid slab, voided slab and skew slab bridge decks detailed for analysis and design. Box girder bridges are attributed considerable attention in order to offer a better understanding of their behaviour and design. Special points relating to creep and shrinkage effects in continuous bridge decks are also explained in detail. Bridge bearings, expansion joints and appurtenances of different types are explained with respect to their place of use and their functions. A few methods of erection of bridge decks of simply-supported spans or continuous spans are presented to ensure a comprehensive understanding of such possibilities.
