In the 21st century, Chinesebridges have developed from river-cross to sea-cross, from conventional designto full-life design, from design of engineering entity to design for harmoniousdevelopment of engineering and environment. Bridge location design is thedesign for the harmonious development bridge engineering with hydrologicalenvironment of rivers and ocean. Base on the harmonious development of bridgeand environment within the totallife cycle, the book is divided into fourparts: Bridge and Environment, Bridge in River Environment, Bridge in OceanEnvironment, and Bridge Location Design and Water-damage Prevention and Control,including 21 chapters mainly on basic concepts of river and ocean hydrology andhydraulics for bridges, basic principles and basic computing methods, bridgelocation design and water-damage prevention and control analysis, computing,computer-aided bridge location design and computing system and principles andmethods for and hydraulic model test.
As a summary of thedevelopments and latest achievements in the discipline over the years,, thebook can be used as a reference book for technical personnel of highwayand bridge engineering, waterconservancy engineering, urban construction and railway engineeringas well ascan be used by university teachers and studentsas reference.
