I will start work soon on a bridge project. This consists of approach roads of 45m spans constructed as glued prestressed precast concrete segments. There is then a cable stayed main bridge section which is also constructed from precast segments.

Has anyone got recommendations for good practical books for construction methods rather than design. In addition any info on books re. bearings, movement joints would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Zambo
