In China, the amount of deteriorating bridges is increasing gradually, andthe costs of maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of these bridges farexceed available budgets. Internationally, above issue also is paid moreattention. To alleviate this issue, the bridge engineering professioncontinues to take positive steps towards developing more comprehensivebridge monitoring and management systems. Therefore, it is significant tocombine some good works that have been done in this field, which is theoriginal objective to introduce the recent research results in the fields of bridge health monitoring, bridge maintenance and safety in the mainland of China. This project encompasses some aspects of bridge health monitoring, maintenance and safety. Specifically, it deals with: bridge health monitoring; bridge repair andrehabilitation issues; bridge related safety and other implications.

Review from Book News Inc.: Intended for engineering graduate students and infrastructure maintenance managers, this slim volume presents current scholarship in the monitoring, maintenance and repair of a variety of types of bridges. The work includes ten papers by Chinese researchers and engineers discussing such topics as modal testing under varying temperature conditions, fatigue reliability analysis, nonlinear seismic response analysis, and seismic testing on long-span concrete-filled steel tubular arch bridges. Papers focus on practical engineering analysis and testing and include numerous graphs and equations analyzing example data. This volume is distributed in the US by Enfield.
