Composite construction, using a reinforced concrete slab on top of steel girders, is an economical and popular form of construction for highway bridges.This book covers the design of continuous composite bridges, with both compact and non-compact sections, and simply supported composite bridges with the'slab-on-beam' form of construction.Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges is a compilation of guidance previously given in separate SCI publications. As such it will act as an authoritative guide for new designers and as a reference text for the bridge design office. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
