Course detail

To learn designing of all type of concrete bridges for bridging over different barriers.
To gain knowledge about basic methods of the bridges construction including their effects on structural design.
To gain essential knowledge about design of special types of bridges in some special conditions.

A student gains these knowledge and skills:
• Virtue for designing all type of concrete bridges for bridging over different barriers.
• Knowledge of basic methods of the bridges construction including their effects on structural design.
• Essential knowledge about design of special types of bridges in some special conditions.

design of roads and bridges, design of concrete structures, prestressed concrete, design of simple concrete bridges

Type of bridges and technology of construction. Effect of prestressing. Modelling and analysis of bridges. Typical structures: flyovers, urban bridges, highway viaducts, bridges across rivers and deep valleys.
Special problems of design and construction of bridges built on the stationary and launch scaffolding, cantilever bridges, incrementally launched bridges, precast girder bridges, precast segmental bridges, arch bridges.
Suspension and cable-stayed bridges. Pedestrian bridges.
Bridges designed for effects of the mining subsidence. Bridges designed in seismic areas.
