About the author M. S. TROITSKY, PhD, has had extensive practical experience as a bridge engineer, designer, and consultant. After earning his doctorate in structural engineering from the University of Belgrade in 1943, he worked for twelve years as chief bridge engineer for the Foundation Company of Canada. There, he was responsible for the design and construction monitoring of nine major steel bridges, including arch, plate girder, suspension, truss, and cable-stayed bridges. He has also done consulting to private firms on structural problems, worked on the design of one cable-stayed bridge, and served as a primary designer on a two-span truss bridge reinforced by cables. Currently, Dr. Troitsky is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal. He has also taught at the University of Montreal and McGill University, and at the University of California, Los Angeles.  An exhaustive guide to the 80 percent of bridge planning and design that most engineers and planners learn only through years of experience, this book addresses all of the practical problems associated with the planning and design of steel and concrete bridge superstructures and substructures. Based on Professor M. S. Troitsky’s more than four decades as a bridge design engineer and educator, it offers in-depth coverage of such crucial considerations as selecting the optimum location and layout, traffic flow, aesthetics, design, analysis, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation, and much more. Citing numerous examples and case studies of existing bridges and important projects underway around the world, and featuring more than 200 line drawings and photographs vividly illustrating all key issues covered, Planning and Design of Bridges provides complete coverage of: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe history of bridge building from pre-Roman times to the present\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChoosing the optimum location and layout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMethods of crossing rivers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSteel superstructures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcrete superstructures and substructures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCurrent design codes and regulations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContemporary design trends\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative analyses of alternative designs and schemes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCAD planning, design, and analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Covering all essential practical, aesthetic, and environmental concerns connected with bridge planning and design, this book will be a welcome addition to the professional libraries of bridge engineers, structural engineers, and architects.
