Exercise

13 weeks, 2 hours/week, compulsory

Syllabus

1. Determination of vertical alignment in terrain. 2. Post-tensioned bridge beam: Design of bar model, cross-section, design of prestressing force on the bar model with the help of equivalent load. 3. Live load on a bar, application of post-tensioned cable. Cable layout on a bar, progressive construction. 4. Short-terms and long-terms losses of prestressing. Correction. 5. Trapezoidal bridge slab: Design of RC slab model of variable height, loads distribution. 6. Live load on a slab, check of calculation, determination of minimum reinforcement area. 7. Calculation of non-linear deflection influenced by the cracks, reinforcement and creep. 8. Design of prestressing force on a slab model with the help of equivalent load, cable layout in a slab, short-terms losses of prestressing. 9. Pedestrian bridge formed by half-through girders combined with concrete slab: Design of a slab model with the bars on eccentricity (ribs), variable height on a bar, utilization of the areas of rib. 10. Reinforcing: Utilization of programme RECOC. Correction. 11. Project submission. Credit.
