Page 18 - Bridge and Highway Structure Rehabilitation and Repair

Acknowledgments

It gives me a great pleasure to express my gratitude to the following individuals who took keen
interest in the development of the book and devoted their valuable time to review the chapters:
Nazhat Aboobaker, Ph. D., P.E., Adjunct Professor at Widener University, Philadelphia for
encouragement and suggestions.
Chris Menna, P. E., Head of Bridge Design Department, City of Philadelphia, for patiently
going over the contents of the book and for his recommendations.
Others who helped in the progress of publishing and printing include Larry Hager, Roger
Woodson, Leona Woodson, and of course Virginia Howe for her dedication during the produc-
tion phase.
Without them the book could hardly be possible.
The references from the many AASHTO, FHWA, NCHRP, ASCE-SEI publications, confer-
ence proceedings and from authors on the subject (listed in the bibliography) are also acknowl-
edged.
