Syllabus

This course is full of best-in-class content by leading faculty and industry experts in the form of videos and projects

Course Overview

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.
