OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	It is aimed to gain the ability to design a prestressed concrete bridge-prefabricated girder bridge and to design an earthquake-resistant superstructure and infrastructure in order to design a reinforced concrete bridge.
Contents of the Course Unit:	It includes the design of reinforced concrete and prestressed reinforced concrete bridges, together with the detailed introduction of cross-section-length-section types, load-bearing systems, loads acting on bridges and earthquake effects, earthquake analysis, foundation design.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
To be able to calculate the loads that affect the bridges
To be able to pre-design a bridge
To be able to model a bridge by considering various sensitivities for earthquake
To be able to create an aplication project
