The book is divided into four parts: superstructure design; substructure design; seismic design; and construction and maintenance. The last part contains constructions of steel and concrete bridges, substructures of major overwater bridges, construction inspections, construction control for cable-stayed bridges, maintenance inspections and rating, bridge strengthening and rehabilitation.
