Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to teach students basic knowledge of steel structures (bridges) in the 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 behaviour - 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
On the course completion the students are able to design general steel structures. They are able to work as building inspectors, design engineers or in other areas related to steel structures (bridges).
