PROGETTO DI PONTI

The course aims to :

• provide knowledge regarding the historical development of bridges and types commonly used in structural engineering
• provide knowledge regarding the construction techniques of bridges
• provide knowledge regarding the actions on bridges
• provide knowledge regarding the main theoretical models applied to the structural analysis of bridges
• provide knowledge regarding the design of bridges, in view of present codes

Theoretical and practical lessons

Theoretical lessons:

• Historical development of bridges
• Types commonly used in structural engineering: girder bridges, rigid-frame bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges
• Parts of the bridge: deck, piers, abutments, bearing devices, expansion joints etc.
• Codes regarding design and construction of bridge
• Loads on bridges
• Design of bridges with composite decks
• Influence lines and infleunce surfaces
• Uniform and non-uniform torsion in bridge decks
• Local instability in steel girders
• Bearing devices
• Design of foundations, piers and abutments
• Seismic design of bridges
• Constructional techniques

Practical lessons:

• Design of bridges with composite steel-concrete decks (reinforced concrete slab, longitudinal steel girder, tranverse beams, bearing devices and piers)
