Elements of bridge design appear in problems on the civil and structural PE exams. This book will help you solve these problems successfully. The authors summarize the basics of bridge design for different types of loads, using five design examples. Two practice problems encourage you to test your design skills. Step-by-step solutions are included.

The Structural Depth Reference Manual prepares you for the structural depth section of the Civil PE exam. It provides a concise, yet comprehensive review of the structural depth section exam topics and highlights the most useful equations in the exam-adopted codes and standards. Solving methods--including ASD and LRFD for steel, strength design for concrete, and ASD for timber and masonry--are thoroughly explained. Throughout the book, cross references connect concepts and point you to additional relevant tables, figures, equations, and codes. More than 95 example problems demonstrate the application of concepts and equations. Each chapter includes practice problems so you can solve exam-like problems, and the step-by-step solutions allow you to check your solution approach. A thorough index directs you to the codes and concepts you will need during the exam. Topics Covered Design of Reinforced Masonry Design of Wood Structures Foundations Prestressed Concrete Design Reinforced Concrete Design Structural Steel Design

Timber Design for the Civil and Structural PE Exams is a comprehensive study guide that uses the inductive teaching method to help readers apply the ASD/LRFD national Design Specifications to realistic problem scenarios, and understand the design theories the solving methods are based on. Design examples and scenario-based practice problems will help you apply what you learn, whether you are preparing for the Civil PE or Structural Engineering (SE) exams, are a student in a timber design course, or are a practicing engineer. Prepare to Pass the Civil PE and SE Exams Provides an overview of timber-related codes and standards, including how to use NDS 2005 specifications Lists the most-used NDS equations, figures, and tables for easy access Cross-references solution steps to NDS sections Solves problems using both Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) timber design methods Features 40 design examples and 6 scenario-based practice problems with step-by-step solutions Topics Covered Structural and Physical Properties of Wood Mechanical Properties of Lumber Lumber Size Categories and Allowable Design Stress Beam Design: Sawn Lumber of Wood and Glued Laminated Timber Axial Members Combined Bending and Axial Loading Mechanical Connections Nails, Spikes, and Bolts Lag Screws and Wood Screws Split Rings and Shear Plates Plywood and Nonplywood Structural Panels

Developed to comply with the fifth edition of the AASHTO LFRD Bridge Design Specifications [2010]––Simplified LRFD Bridge Design is "How To" use the Specifications book. Most engineering books utilize traditional deductive practices, beginning with in-depth theories and progressing to the application of theories. The inductive method in the book uses alternative approaches, literally teaching backwards. The book introduces topics by presenting specific design examples. Theories can be understood by students because they appear in the text only after specific design examples are presented, establishing the need to know theories. The emphasis of the book is on step-by-step design procedures of highway bridges by the LRFD method, and "How to Use" the AASHTO Specifications to solve design problems. Some of the design examples and practice problems covered include: Load combinations and load factors Strength limit states for superstructure design Design Live Load HL- 93 Un-factored and Factored Design Loads Fatigue Limit State and fatigue life; Service Limit State Number of design lanes Multiple presence factor of live load Dynamic load allowance Distribution of Live Loads per Lane Wind Loads, Earthquake Loads Plastic moment capacity of composite steel-concrete beam LRFR Load Rating Simplified LRFD Bridge Design is a study guide for engineers preparing for the PE examination as well as a classroom text for civil engineering students and a reference for practicing engineers. Eight design examples and three practice problems describe and introduce the use of articles, tables, and figures from the AASHTO LFRD Bridge Design Specifications. Whenever articles, tables, and figures in examples appear throughout the text, AASHTO LRFD specification numbers are also cited, so that users can cross-reference the material.
