It is widely acknowledged that there is an increasing problem in maintenance of the American civil infrastructure. Highways, bridges, sewers, railroads, harbors, and public biuldings built in the 1950s and 1960s are wearing out, while inflation-adjusted federal spending on infrastructure has fallen. The current situation, with respect to highway bridge maintenance is, in fact, so severe that many states cannot afford the cost of replacement, so they are focusing only on the most severe cases. Recently, rapid assessment, repair, and replacement of damaged highway bridges, after extreme events, have received close attention from goverment agencies, engineering and construction communities, and the public. This book present the complicated undertaking of highway bridge replacement in an easy-to-read format.
