Overview

What you'll
be able to do.

  • The learners will gain a thorough knowledge of the various loads to be applied to bridges during their design life.
  • This course demonstrates all types of loads with codal provisions and formulas for the calculation of the loads, along with a software demo.
  • During the course, the learners will learn about
    • Various types of loads acting on the bridge structure.
    • Application of external loadings on the bridge structure and its design applications.
    • Loads considered for analyzing a double-decker bridge supporting a metro viaduct on the upper deck and a four-lane highway on the lower deck.
    • Design loading on vehicular underpasses using STAAD.Pro.
