COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This updated course describes Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for concrete highway bridge superstructures. It provides a combination of instructor-led discussions and workshop exercises. The course also includes LRFD theory applied to design examples and illustrates step-by-step LRFD design procedures. The curriculum follows the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 7th Edition, 2014 (AASHTO LRFD), including the approved 2015 Interims.

The training includes the extensive use of student exercises and example problems to demonstrate overall design, detailing, and construction principles addressed in the reference materials. It affords hands-on experience in LRFD design and detailing of concrete highway bridge superstructures.

The curriculum materials are comprised of a comprehensive reference manual (FHWA Publication No. FHWA-NHI-15-047), lecture and workshop exercises intended to promote or enhance a working knowledge of AASHTO LRFD, and a participant workbook for lecture notes and exercises.

The curriculum material includes the following major topics:

*General superstructure design considerations

*Preliminary design concepts for prestressed concrete superstructures

*Prestressed concrete I-girder design

*Spliced prestressed concrete girder bridges

OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the bridge superstructure design and construction process in accordance with the current AASHTO LRFD specifications.
  • Apply the appropriate current AASHTO LRFD specification articles dealing with selection of bridge type, size, and location.
