Features: This book is a professional textbook for civil engineering majors in higher education institutions. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, explaining the deck structure of concrete beam bridges, the construction and design of concrete simply supported beam bridges, and the calculation of concrete simply supported beam bridges. It briefly introduces cantilever beam bridges, concrete continuous beam bridges, beam bridge bearings, and construction methods for concrete beam bridges. It also covers concrete arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, composite system bridges, and bridge piers and abutments. The book focuses on the construction, design calculations, and construction methods of commonly used small and medium-span concrete beam bridges, arch bridges, and bridge piers and abutments, while also briefly introducing the construction, design calculations, and construction characteristics of long-span bridges. The entire book is written according to the new bridge design code promulgated by the Ministry of Transport in 2004. This book can be used as a teaching material for civil engineering majors in higher education institutions and can also serve as a reference for personnel engaged in bridge design, research, construction, and management.
