Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim is to teach students basic knowledge of steel structures (bridges) in areas of: - Bridge structures theory, lay-out treatments, loading, material, standards. - Construction of bridge superstructure and rail and road bridge deck, calculation models, static design and check. - Plate girder bridges, lay-out treatments, calculation models, spatial behavior. - Truss girder bridges, lay-out treatments, plane and spatial computational models. - Composite steel and concrete bridge structures, lay-out treatments, calculation models, coupling members. - Bridges with sheet orthotropic bridge deck. - Arch bridges, lay-out treatments, calculation models. - Bridge bearings, bridge structure maintenance, reconstruction of bridge structures.
After graduation are students able to design general steel structures. Students are able to work as building inspector, design engineer or in other areas connected to steel structures (bridges).
Prerequisites
Knowledge of "Steel bridges I" is demanded.
