A comprehensive five-volume reference work edited by Wai-Fah Chen and Lian Duan. The sources outline the fundamental principles of bridge design, categorizing structures into four primary types: girder, arch, cable-stayed, and suspension bridges. Through detailed prefaces and introductory chapters, the material emphasizes the conceptual design phase, where experienced engineers must balance safety, functionality, economy, and aesthetics. The authors highlight the transition from technical difficulties, which are solvable through innovation, to technical limitations imposed by the physical properties of materials like steel and concrete. Furthermore, the text examines the structural efficiency of different elements and provides theoretical calculations for the maximum possible spans achievable with modern engineering practices. Overall, the handbook serves as a global resource for practitioners, integrating historical context with contemporary advancements in seismic design, construction, and maintenance.
