Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges

classic book from authoritative authors, will give specialised and analytic procedures

A classic book that is a must for structural engineers. I found the joint design section very useful. I dont think any other text books discusses this aspect of the design. Most of AASHTO joint design borrows graphics from this book.

One of the best book about bridges. We'll explained and with worked example. Maybe it is not full updated to the last code

Professor Priestley is No. 1 in the world when it comes to seismic design and retrofit of bridges. This book is a result of his extensive research conducted for Caltrans with Prof. Seible on bridge retrofit and their seismic behavior. The book is excellent reference for researchers and design engineers. The chapter about base isolations is very informative. Although I know that this is not his area, I wish he would elaborate more in chapter 3: seismicity and geotechnical considerations

I knew what I was buying so there were no surprises. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in seismic design of bridges.

A very solid book for bridge seismic design and retrofit. As it’s dated, make sure to have a copy of the latest AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Bridge Design.Wish it was updated.
