Features: This book is the second edition of "Bridge Design 100 Questions." Based on the previous edition, the following revisions have been made: 1. New achievements in bridge science and engineering technology in recent years have been incorporated, with some content added and updated. Reference data for completed major bridges have been provided for readers, and the number of questions has increased from 427 in the previous edition to the current 500; 2. A comprehensive introduction has been given to the newly issued "General Code for Highway Bridge and Culvert Design (JTGD60--2004)," "Code for Highway Masonry Bridge and Culvert Design (JTJD61—2005)," "Code for Highway Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Bridge and Culvert Design (JTGD62—2004)," and "Code for Highway Bridge Wind Resistance Design (JTG/T1)60-01—2004)"; 3. Additional worked examples for difficult problems have been added, such as the transverse distribution calculation for curved and continuous beams, the calculation of internal forces in control sections during the pushing process, the local stability calculation for compressed steel box girder bridges, simplified calculations for group piles, and the nonlinear effect calculation for high piers; 4. The modeling methods for finite element analysis of bridge structures have been elaborated in detail; 5. For the convenience of readers, an appendix titled "Keyword Index" has been added at the end of the book. The Hunan Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute has been responsible for a large number of bridge design projects over the years, including many innovative ones. To make this book more comprehensive and better meet the needs of design personnel, Hu Jianhua and his colleagues were specially invited to participate in the revision of the second edition. Hu Jianhua graduated from Hunan University in 1987, is a senior engineer with professor-level status, and is a special government allowance expert recognized by the State Council. He currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Hunan Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute. He has led the completion of more than 20 large-scale and complex domestic and international bridge projects and has won more than 10 ministerial and ministerial-level scientific and technological achievement awards. The Yueyang Dongting Lake Bridge, which he designed, won the First Prize in the 2001 Hunan Province Excellent Engineering Design Award, the Second Prize in the 2003 National Science and Technology Progress Award, the Gold Award in the 10th National Excellent Engineering Design Award, and was selected as one of the "Top 10 Bridges of the Century in China" in 2004. The Yiyang Maocaojie Bridge, which he designed, is currently the world's widest concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridge. The Guangdong Pingsheng Bridge, which he designed, is currently the world's largest under-construction self-anchored single-tower suspension bridge. The main members participating in the revision of this book include Shao Xudong, Hu Jianhua, Peng Wanghu, Jin Xiaojin, Liu Zhiwen, and Zhou Yadong. Deng Jun, Chang Ying, Zhu Jichao, Sun Xiaozhen, and Tang Huasheng compiled the preliminary draft, and Professor Cheng Xiangyun reviewed the entire book. Shao Xudong, October 2005
