This new reference work addresses both the maintenance and the upkeep of
existing movable bridges, as well as the complete design of new movable
bridges. Comprehensive coverage is provided on engineering design and actual
construction technology used in building all major types of bridges, including
all structural issues and relevant mechanical and electrical systems used to
make such bridges functional. Includes coverage of vertical lift, swing, and
bascule bridges for both highway and railway usage Offers valuable guidance on
operation, maintenance, inspection, and rehabilitation of moveable bridges
