After successful completion of the course, students are able to apply design models for the survey of the structural behavior of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges. Furthermore, the students are able to design standard cross-sections of conventional bridges including the required bracing. Moreover, they can explain the force paths occurring in bridges.
Lessons on the basics and the application of static models for the analysis and verification of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges. Typical standard cross-sections as well as selected details are developed. The performance and discussion of a number of calculations will accompany the theoretical readings.
