This comprehensive unique practice-oriented book covers in depth the various types of prestressed concrete bridges. It provides a lucid exposition of the theory and design of various types of prestressed concrete bridge decks such as slab tee beam continuous girder rigid frame cellular box girder and cable-stayed types conforming to the National Highway Loading Standards and the specifications of the Indian Roads Congress. A step-by-step approach is adopted in presenting the detailed designs of various types of prestressed concrete bridge decks. This state-of-the-art book also deals with the planning and economical aspects construction maintenance and rehabilitation of prestressed concrete bridges with practical examples together with illustrations of worlds prominent prestressed concrete bridges. The book will serve as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil structural and highway engineering courses offered by various universities in India. It would also serve as a useful reference material for the practising engineers and teachers.
