Highway Bridge Superstructure Engineering

Narendra Taly, Ph.D, P.E., F.ASCE, is a professor (emeritus) of civil engineering at California State University, Los Angeles. He has more than 55 years of experience in the fields of civil and structural engineering design. This is his seventh book in the field of structural engineering.

"Professor Taly’s well-organized, well-balanced and thorough book is a welcome and timely addition to the technical literature of bridge engineering. The book distinguishes itself by its focused approach to practical highway bridge superstructure design. In addition to the thorough outline of specification development, load application, superstructure analysis and design, the book includes extensive worked examples of practical concrete and steel superstructures."—John F. Unsworth, P.Eng., Chief Bridge Engineer, Canadian Pacific"A well-presented and logically organized book of state-of-the-art knowledge of AASHTO LRFD-based highway superstructure design… Generally speaking, ‘Bridge Engineering’ encompasses many fields, such as planning, design, construction and maintenance…"—Lian Duan, Ph.D., P.E., Senior Bridge Engineer and Steel Committee Chair, California Department of Transportation, Sacramento, California, USA
