Bridge Design Webinar Bundle: Session I: Bridge Design – Introduction to AASHTO: This session is geared towards structural engineers that are not familiar with AASHTO and are interested in learning more for several reasons, including preparing for the NCEES Structural Engineering (SE) exam. It may also help professionals that have to perform bridge related tasks while that is not their main expertise in the day-to-day activities. Focus will be in explaining the basic loads that are different from building codes, including the application of Dead Load based on their sequence, Live Load, Wind, and Thermal. Session II: Bridge Design – Approximate Methods in the Design of Bridges: This second session is intended to go in more depth in the approach to design of bridges. It will explain approximate methods for calculating demand on bridges due to Live Loads using both the Lever Rule method as well as the approximate tables for calculating live load distribution for the design of the superstructure and substructure. Calculation of demand from Live Load will be explained for both superstructure and substructure. Session III: Bridge Design – Seismic Design of Bridges: This third session will be geared to assist not only exam takers but also practicing bridge engineers that must deal with bridge design in their day-to-day activities. It will attempt to explain the art of seismic analysis and design in common sense engineering jargon with hands on application of how to apply the proper structural stiffness, demand calculations based on AASHTO methodology for single mode analyses using both the Single Mode and the Uniform Load Method of analyses. The difference between the two methods will be discussed and their respective advantages/disadvantages. Brief discussion about detailing of the end zones will be included.
