The French version of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) publication, Guide to Bridge Hydraulics, Third Edition (Guide de conception hydraulique des ponts, troisième édition), is now available.
The Guide to Bridge Hydraulics, Third Edition, is an updated national resource that reflects over 20 years of advancements in environmental and regulatory aspects of bridge design. It introduces new guidance on climate change, extreme weather events, coastal conditions, and permafrost, along with modernized design and analysis methods. As the only Canadian guideline in this specialized area—referenced in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code — it supports engineers and professionals in designing more resilient and robust bridge structures. The guide also provides practical criteria and procedures for incorporating hydraulic and hydrologic considerations into the siting, design, evaluation, operation, and maintenance of bridges.
The Guide to Bridge Hydraulics, Third Edition, is available for purchase in print and e-book formats through TAC at $299 for TAC members or $399 for non-members.
