Contents:
The course of Bases of Bridge Design is focused on principal problems related to design of bridges - spatial arrangement and
equipment of road and railway bridges, types of bridge structures and technologies of construction of concrete bridges. During
seminars, design of a road, single-span, cast-in situ, prestressed concrete slab bridge is carried out.
Lectures (L) and seminars (S):
1. L:Terminology. Spatial arrangement and equipment of road and railway bridges.
2. S: Design of a road, single-span, cast-in situ, prestressed concrete slab bridge. Part 1 - drawings (cross section, longitudinal
section).
3. L: Bridge bearings, expansion joints.
4. S: Properties of cross sections.
5. L: Types of bridge structures.
6. S: Materials. Permanent actions.
7. S: Influence lines. Traffic actions.
8. L: Technologies of construction of concrete bridges.
9. S: Thermal actions. Calculation of internal forces.
10. S: Combinations of actions.
11. S: Design of prestressing.
12. S: Verification of SLS and ULS.
13. S: Consultations.
