Bridge Superstructure deals with the behaviour of
different types of bridge decks under different systems of loading.
Mathematical modeling and the behaviour of different types of bridge
decks are clearly explained. Solid slab, voided slab and skew slab
bridge decks are detailed out for analysis and design. Box girder
bridges is specially discussed for better understanding of its
behaviour and its design. Special points relating to creep and
shrinkage effects in continuous bridge decks are explained. Bridge
bearings, expansion joints and appurtenances of different types are
explained with respect to their place of use and their functions. A few
methods of erection of bridge decks of simply supported spans or
continuous spans are presented to give a good understanding of such
possibilities.
