Railroad bridges are a critical component of the infrastructure and economy of many countries, and many of these bridges are nearing the end of their useful service life. Theory and Design of Railway Truss Bridges provides comprehensive coupled information regarding the structural analysis and design of steel railway truss spans. Most books cover either analysis or design of structures, but none cover both the analysis and design of railway trusses. Further, the book presents technical information on the analysis of railway trusses currently unavailable in other modern books. It also provides readers with up-to-date information concerning the modern methods of design recommended by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA):

  • Includes detailed information on the analysis of trusses for moving loads.
  • Presents information on topics specific to railway trusses such as loading effects, secondary stresses and stress reversal.
  • Includes information on the history of railway truss analysis, design and construction.
  • Covers methods for the analysis of statically indeterminate spans.
  • Describes methods to determine the displacement of truss spans.
  • Provides up-to-date theory and design methods based on current AREMA recommendations.
