After working in Dyckerhoff & Widmann's design office for five years, Dipl.-Ing. Ernst-August Kracke was deputy department head for bridge design at the State Authority for Road Construction in Hanover, Lower Saxony. He also taught inspectors and other employees at the state authority about bridge design. Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Lodde served as seit manager for Philip Holzmann for eight years before becoming deputy department head for construction and public procurement at the State Authority for Road Construction in Hanover, Lower Saxony. Both authors have been members in various working committees for technical codes at the state and federal levels. Passing on their practical experience gained by actually building bridges and being thoroughly acquainted with knowledge gaps was the cause for both authors to write this practically oriented book.Content: Chapter 1 Technische Regelwerke (pages 1-44): Chapter 2 Allgemeine Einfuhrung Stra?enbrucken (pages 45-103): Chapter 3 Bauwerksentwurf (pages 105-130): Chapter 4 Bruckenbelage (pages 131-165): Chapter 5 Bauwerksfugen (pages 167-179): Chapter 6 Beruhrungsschutz (pages 181-186): Chapter 7 Entwasserung (pages 187-198): Chapter 8 Fahrbahnubergange (pages 199-217): Chapter 9 Grundungen (pages 219-257): Chapter 10 Gelander (pages 259-276): Chapter 11 Hinterfullung (pages 277-284): Chapter 12 Kappen (pages 285-295): Chapter 13 Lager (pages 297-317): Chapter 14 Larmschutzwande (pages 319-327): Chapter 15 Mastverankerung (pages 329-331): Chapter 16 Schutzeinrichtungen (pages 333-346): Chapter 17 Verkehrszeichenbrucken (pages 347-365): Chapter 18 Verblendung (pages 367-368): Chapter 19 Vogeleinflugschutz (pages 369-370): Chapter 20 Zuganglichkeit (pages 371-382): Chapter 21 Bruckenprufung (pages 383-405): Chapter 22 Instandsetzungsplanung (pages 407-412): Chapter 23 Quellenverzeichnis (pages 413-415):
