Synopsis:

The course of Concrete Bridges is focused on design and construction of this type of bridge structures. Lectures are devoted to spatial arrangement and equipment of road and railway bridges, bridge substructure, effects and realization of prestressing, types of concrete bridge structures and technologies of their construction. Seminars are split into interesting issues and provide an opportunity to apply the learnt principles.
