Features: This book starts from the practical needs of bridge strengthening design, providing a systematic introduction to the diagnosis and analysis of defects in concrete bridge structures, load-bearing capacity evaluation considering structural damage, and the overall design of bridge strengthening programs. The book adheres to the fundamental viewpoint that "bridge strengthening under load must consider the characteristics of staged loading," advocates the design philosophy of "proactive strengthening," and proposes a design and calculation method for bridge members considering the effects of staged loading. It includes numerous reviews and analyses of typical design cases and calculation examples for reference by designers. This book offers guidance and practical value for professionals engaged in bridge strengthening design and research, as well as reference value for those involved in bridge construction, supervision, and management. It can also serve as teaching and learning material for graduate and undergraduate students in bridge engineering.
