`This book is well written and is a valuable resource for a bridge engineer's library.' - Journal of Hydraulic Engineering Vol. 127 No. 7 July 2001 'This book is likely to be one of the most comprehensive texts on the hydraulic examination and planning of bridges for crossing bodies of water. It can be recommended to all those concerned with such plans.' - Land Use and Land Development Vol.1 2003 A recent book giving good coverage of hydraulic aspects of bridge design, including scour and flow forces. - CIRIA Manual on scour at bridges and other hydraulic structures
