1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Nice non-mathy guide to bridge engineeringBy Jeffrey W. SkinnerIve been looking for something like this. It covers all the different types of bridge design; and the history of their evolution. Nice print companion to Stephen Resslers "Understanding the Worlds Great Structures" videos. A great way to get a feel for the topic without becoming a Civil Engineer.Well done.
