Dive into the world of bridge design by understanding the forces they have to withstand! The module explores various types of loads, from permanent loads to dynamic loads. We'll analyze how these loads are combined for design purposes, following IRC guidelines. You'll learn about specific loads for highway, railway, and pedestrian bridges, including construction phase considerations. Thermal effects, water current forces, and accidental impacts are factored in. By the end, you'll be equipped to design bridges that can handle the full spectrum of forces they'll encounter throughout their lifespan.

We'll delve into the calculations that ensure a bridge's strength. We'll explore various analysis methods, from traditional hand calculations like Pigeaud's method for slabs to advanced computer-aided tools like Finite Element Analysis (FEM). You'll learn about grillage analysis, which breaks down a bridge deck into a network of beams to understand load distribution. We'll also tackle examples using grillage analysis for different bridge configurations like slab bridges and slab & beam bridges. By the end, you'll possess a strong foundation for analyzing and designing bridges that can withstand various stresses and strains.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
