The definitive transportation engineering resource—fully revised and updated

The two-volume Handbook of Transportation Engineering, Second Edition offers practical, comprehensive coverage of the entire transportation engineering field. Featuring 18 new chapters and contributions from nearly 70 leading experts, this authoritative work discusses all types of transportation systems—freight, passenger, air, rail, road, marine, and pipeline—and provides problem-solving engineering, planning, and design tools and techniques with examples of successful applications. Volume I focuses on transportation networks and systems, operations, and economics. Volume II focuses on applications in automobile and non-automobile transportation, and on safety and environmental issues.

Volume I covers:

• National transportation networks and inter-modal systems
• Transportation network planning: theoretical notions
• Reliability of travel times and robustness of transport networks

State-of-the-Art Bridge and Highway Rehabilitation and Repair Methods

This authoritative volume offers up-to-date guidance on the latest design techniques, repair methods, specialized software, materials, and advanced maintenance procedures for bridges and highway structures. Focusing on both traditional and nontraditional design issues, Bridge and Highway Structures Rehabilitation and Repair clarifies the most recent AASHTO bridge design codes and discusses new analytical and design methodologies, such as the application of load and resistance factor design (LRFD). A wealth of concise explanations, solved examples, and in-depth case studies are included in this comprehensive resource.

COVERAGE INCLUDES:

• Diagnostic design and selective reconstruction
• Bridge failure studies and safety engineering
• Analytical approach to fracture and failure
• Load and resistance factor rating (LRFR) and redesign
• Application of LRFD and LRFR methods
• Inspection and structural health monitoring
• Bridge widening and replacement strategies
• Conventional repair methods
• Advanced repair methods
• Concrete repair methods
• Extreme events of flood scour and countermeasures design
• Guidelines for seismic design and retrofit methods
