Syllabus

1. Composite steel-concrete bridges – loads, beams in the plastic behaviour (basis of static design), influence of the method of erection, short-term and long-term effects). 2. Composite steel-concrete bridges – beams in the plastic behaviour (principles of static design). 3. Composite steel-concrete bridges – shear connections (types, structural detailing, basis of design). 4. Box girder bridges – specific properties of box girder bridges, basis od static design, torsion of box girder bridges. 5. Arch bridges – types of arch bridges, structural composition, basic principles of static and structural design. 6. Arch bridges – specialties of structural design, frame bridges. 7. Skewed bridges – basis of structural composition, basis of static design. 8. Curved bridges – basis of structural composition, bysis of ststic design. 9. Suspension and cable-stayed bridges – principles of structural composition, material and structural members. 10. Suspension and cable-stayed bridges – basis of static design. 11. Steel and composite steel-concrete bridge supports – types, structural static design. 12. Special bridges – temporary bridges, movable bridges, floated bridges (basic information). 13. Manufacture and erection of metal bridge structures, examples of realized metal bridges, practical aspects of the design.
