Ce 606

This document provides an overview of the course "Bridge Engineering". The objective is to provide basics in design of bridge structures. The course covers types of bridges, loading standards, analysis and design of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and steel bridges. It includes design of bridge components like deck slab, T-beams, box girders, bearings and foundations. The course also introduces numerical modeling and earthquake-resistant design of bridges. Upon completion, students are expected to be able to design bridges using Indian codes.
