ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the principle and practices related to construction of concrete bridges in which construction engineering contributes greatly to the successful completion of the projects. We first present the fundamentals of construction engineering and analyze the challenges and obstacles involved in such processes and then introduce the problems in relation to design, construction practices, project planning, scheduling, and control, which are the basis of future factorial improvements in effective construction engineering in the United States. Finally, we discuss prestressed concrete, high-performance concrete (HPC), and falsework in some details.
