Most engineering books utilize traditional deductive practices, beginning with in-depth theories and progressing to the application of theories. The inductive method in the book uses alternative approaches, literally teaching backwards. The book introduces topics by presenting specific design examples. Theories can be understood by students because they appear in the text only after specific design examples are presented, establishing the need to know theories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe emphasis of the book is on step-by-step design procedures of highway bridges by the LRFD method, and \"How to Use\" the AASHTO Specifications to solve design problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the design examples and practice problems covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLoad combinations and load factors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrength limit states for superstructure design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign Live Load HL- 93\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUn-factored and Factored Design Loads\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFatigue Limit State and fatigue life; Service Limit State\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of design lanes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple presence factor of live load\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDynamic load allowance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistribution of Live Loads per Lane\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWind Loads, Earthquake Loads\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlastic moment capacity of composite steel-concrete beam\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLRFR Load Rating\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimplified LRFD Bridge Design is a study guide for engineers preparing for the PE examination as well as a classroom text for civil engineering students and a reference for practicing engineers. Eight design examples and three practice problems describe and introduce the use of articles, tables, and figures from the AASHTO LFRD Bridge Design Specifications. Whenever articles, tables, and figures in examples appear throughout the text, AASHTO LRFD specification numbers are also cited, so that users can cross-reference the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jai B.
