About the Course
Bridges are structures which form an integral part of infrastructure development projects. A bridge is built to span and pass over a river, road, rail or any other geological hurdle. It is used as a fast way to transit in areas of high traffic congestion. From road to rail, the function and the area in which a bridge is constructed decides its design.
The course covers the step-by-step procedure required for the Analysis and Design of RCC and Steel Composite super structure, Substructure and Auxiliary components of bridge with detailing. This course deals with the different types of foundations like pile and well according to IRC. It also covers the design of cross drainage systems. This course deals with the various Execution and O&M aspects in detail based on the expertise from L&T.
