Reviews

'This is truly a magnificent book. (...) I found reading this book to be a joy, and in fact I don't recall ever having enjoyed reading a bridge engineering book more than this one. (...) it's mandatory reading for all practicing bridge engineers. (...) My only lament is that the book isn't five times longer!' - Irfan A. Alvi Towson, MD USA
