Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel–Concrete Composite Bridges 2nd Edition

Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel–Concrete Composite Bridges, 2nd Edition by Ehab Ellobody is an indispensable, modern reference for engineers and students who design bridges in today’s complex infrastructure landscape. Concise yet comprehensive, this updated edition translates advanced finite element methods into practical solutions for real-world bridge projects.

Discover clear, step-by-step explanations of finite element modelling, stability and dynamic analysis, and the behaviour of steel and steel–concrete composite members under service and extreme loads. The book balances theory with practice, offering worked examples, design guidance, and interpretation of results that align with international practice — valuable for projects across the UK, Europe, North America, the Middle East and beyond.

Engineers will appreciate guidance on modelling strategies, load combinations, buckling and fatigue assessment, and realistic representation of composite action. Postgraduate students and academics will find rigorous derivations and up-to-date references that support coursework and research. Practitioners gain a practical toolkit to improve accuracy, safety and cost-effectiveness in bridge design and assessment.

Written by a respected expert in structural engineering, this edition reflects contemporary challenges in bridge engineering and offers techniques that integrate seamlessly with modern design workflows and software. Whether you’re designing new crossings or assessing existing structures, this book equips you to make confident, code-aware decisions.

A must-have for structural engineers, consultants and advanced students — order now to elevate your bridge design practice with a trusted, globally relevant resource.
