Editorial Reviews

"an extremely important part of the very sparse literature on continuous bridges. It is a must for all bridge design offices, and dare I suggest it would make good reading for graduates preparing for Professional Review...I can thoroughly recommend this collection of very important papers for not only those interested in but also those who have to design, maintain or strengthen continuous bridges of any type" - Proc.Instn.Civ.Engrs.Structs & Bldgs.
