Bascule Bridges

[grrams]

I am a Masters Degree Candidate in the USA. Currently I am working on a project for my Heavy Construction Management class.

There is a listing in the FAQ portion of this group provided several resources concerning bridge design. Does anybody know of any resources specifically for Bascule Bridge Design?

Ask HNTB Eng in Kansas City. They design bascule spans.
