Course detail

The objective of the subject is to introduce students to the problems of this course and to practise acquires knowledge and skills.

Student will learn the problems of the course and will get under controll the course aims, within the meaning of obtaining knowledge and skills in the field of design of more complicated structural systems of metal and steel-concrete bridges, concretized in the course schedule.

Metal structures - design of elements and connections of steel structures. Metal bridges - plated-girder and truss-girder bridges. Concrete structures - design of elements od concrete structures.

Box-girder bridges - specification of structural and static design. Composite steel-concrete bridges - structural design, basic principles of static design, errection of bridges.
Bevelled bridges and curved bridges - specification of structural and static design.
Arched bridges and frame bridges - principles of structural and static design.
Suspended and cable-stayed bridges - principles of structural and static design.
Special bridges - informative view.
Bridge supports.
Assembly of metal bridges.
Bridge supports. Assembly of bridges. Examples of realized bridge structures.
