The book is aimed at university students and practicing engineers. Each chapter gradually presents the complete study of a continuous bridge with two spans. 

Combining theory with practice, this book presents the design, analysis, and dimensioning of composite bridges made of steel and reinforced concrete based on the Eurocodes specifications.

The content includes:

• Design rules for composite bridges

• Traffic loads for road and railway bridges

• Selection of structural materials

• Recommendations for modeling the structure for global analysis

• Checks against ultimate limit states, serviceability, and fatigue

• Plate buckling check

• Seismic design of bridges

• Design of bearings, including seismic isolation.

The text is complemented with application examples and a complete case study of a bridge.
