Design Of Bridge Structures by M. A. Jayaram and T. R. Jagadeesh, Second Edition of the textbook on bridge design continues to provide comprehensive coverage of both theory and design practice within the compass of a single volume. It is intended for the students pursuing courses in civil engineering at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is also considered useful for practicing civil engineers and designers who need a ready reckoner on important design aspects of bridges.

The second edition has three main objectives. First, it provides general updates of the bridge designs as per the revised IRC codes. Second, it incorporates all round improvement to the presentation of the material. Third, and more importantly, the second edition makes the book complete by incorporating topics like pres-tressed concrete bridge decks and applications of artificial intelligence in bridge engineering.
