Student will obtain summary knowledge of the principles and basis of design and realization of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges of more complex structural and static systems - composite bridges, box girder bridges, arch and frame bridges, skewed bridges, curved bridges, suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges, special bridges. Student will be able to perform preliminary static and structural design of steel-concrete composite bridge. Student will learn basis of structural design of box girder bridges, skewed and curved bridges. Student will obtain the knowledge of the principles of static behaviour and standard methods of the design of arch bridges and steel and steel-concrete composite bridge supports. Student will learn basic principles of the behaviour and structural design of suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges. Student will learn basic procedures of the erection of steel and steel-concrete bridges.

Design of members, components and connections of steel structures. Metal bridges, web-plated and truss bridges. Design of members and components of concrete structures. Static design of truss structures and arches including influence lines. Basis of design of suspension and cable-stayed structures.

Extension of the knowledge in the field of elasticity and plasticity - basic principles of non-linear analysis. Basis of structural dynamics with regards to the dynamic behaviour of steel bridges.

Not applicable.

The course is taught through the lectures, practical exercises and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at exercises is compulsory.

For the successful graduation of this course it is necessary to elaborate static and structural design of steel truss bridge within the exercises, based on the individual task, with the extend given by the teacher. The attendance in the exercises is compulsory. This course is not closed by the exam.
