Eugene J. OBrien worked with engineering firms for five years before moving to the university sector in 1990. Since 1998 he has been professor and head of civil engineering at University College Dublin. He is the author of two books and more than 200 papers on weigh-in-motion, bridge health monitoring, and bridge loading. He has had research projects in 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th European Framework Programmes. He is co-founder and chairman of Roughan O'Donovan Innovative Solutions, a subsidiary of the engineering firm Roughan O'Donovan, designers of several landmark bridge structures.Damien L. Keogh is a Bridge Engineer at Ramboll, DenmarkAlan J. O'Connor is an Associate Professor at Trinity College Dublin

"This book is very useful for both teaching and designing purposes." -Dr. Stergios Mitouls, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK

• Introduction. Bridge loading. Introduction to bridge analysis. Integral bridges. Slab bridge decks - behaviour and modelling. Application of planar grillage and finite-element methods. Three-dimensional modelling of bridge decks. Probabilistic assessment of bridge safety. Case studies. References. Appendices. Index.
