| Objectives: |
It is aimed to develop skills for understanding the principles of the steel bridges’ design, to develop skills for the design of the structural elements and their connections of different steel railway bridges, to develop skills for the design of the structural elements and their connections of different steel highway bridges, to develop skills for the design controls of structural elements such as for wind, impact, braking and earthquake loads, as well as fatigue calculations and global stability control checks. |
| Content: |
It includes the following topics; classification of steel bridges, design codes, railway bridges, highway bridges, truss girder bridges, composite girder bridges, stability of bridges, braces for wind, earthquake, lateral and breaking loads, curved and inclined bridges, cable and cable supported bridges, structural charesteristics, design considerations. |
