What's the Best Book for Bridge Design?

Don't you feel that you should go to school first? Then to the University and then a few years in the industry, learning the "trade"? Before you start designing bridges?

Anyone one who needs to ask such questions on a public Blog, is lacking both brains and knowledge.........

You did not even specify as to whether this "bridge" is to carry people, oxen, ants, cars, trains or lorries. You may not fully understand that point, but it makes quite a difference to the final design!!!!

You did not specify if it was to be 1, 2 or even 4 lanes wide......

What is "cum concrete"? Do use the slump test on slump concrete? What kind of add mix goes into it? It isn't anything like High Early is it?

When I was in the automotive industru we used a lot of High Early so we could be on the slab or in the new pit as soon as possible. Never heard of cum concrete though?

there no books which help you to design a 90m. span bridge. you can take help from any referance book such as "BRIDGE ENGINEERING" by "VICTOR" or "BRIDGE ENGINEERING" & "CONCRETE DESIGN" by "VAZIRANI&RATWANI".
