¢ Carry out with confidence deck rehabilitation
¢ Benefit from others(TM) experience on bridge strengthening procedures
¢ Add to useful life of your bridges with the methods you learn for substructure rehabilitation
Bridges are the most important part of transportation infrastructure. The conception, development and worldwide construction of bridges represents the most interesting and important achievements in civil engineering. Their safe, efficient and economic operation requires that the bridges be designed and constructed so they can be operational with routine maintenance for an extended design life.
In Canada, the number of bridges requiring rehabilitation is increasing at an alarming rate. Addressing this problem consumes an ever-growing percentage of government budgets. Bridges need to be rehabilitated for a variety of causes, such as deterioration due to environmental effects, the need to carry heavier vehicular loads, or deficiencies in the original design or construction. Those responsible for maintaining bridges need to keep abreast of the latest techniques available for assessing the condition of their structures, as well as the methods and techniques for repairing or strengthening them.
This course covers various topics such as bridge types, criteria for analysis and design; evaluation, planning, rehabilitation and strengthening, material components and loads, superstructure, substructure and foundation design.Objectives
To provide modern approaches to bridge design, bridge inspection, condition assessment, bridge management system, rating evaluation, maintenance, strengthening and rehabilitation.Who Should Attend
Managers and engineers of national, provincial and local highway agencies, railway bridge engineers, consulting engineers, structural engineers, design engineers, superintendents and contractors, fabricators, construction foremen, material suppliers and material testing personnel who are interested in rehabilitation of bridges, regulatory agency staff and others responsible for inspecting, rating, maintaining, upgrading and safeguarding existing bridges.Program Outline:
You will receive:
A complete set of lecture notes along with references for each topic covered in the course.
