By the end of the course, you should be able to:
- Select a suitable type of steel bridge
- Apply the bridge loading
- Carry out bridge idealisation and analysis
- Design key structural elements of steel bridges
- Prepare the steel bridge detailing and fabrication
Those relatively new to bridge engineering, whether experienced structural engineers wanting to switch discipline, early career bridge engineers, or those just wanting to refresh their knowledge of bridge design.
Some design experience in steel structures to Eurocodes.
