About the course
This course demonstrates the modelling, analysis, and design workflow for a post-tensioned concrete box girder bridge. Participants learn how to define bridge geometry, tendon layouts, construction stages, material properties, and load cases for realistic bridge behaviour assessment. The content covers structural analysis, prestressing effects, design checks, and result evaluation for bridge engineering applications. Emphasis is placed on efficient modelling strategies and interpretation of analysis results for practical infrastructure projects. By completing the course, engineers gain insight into advanced bridge workflows and develop confidence in handling post-tensioned bridge systems within an integrated structural engineering environment.
What you'll learn
- Create bridge geometry and structural models for box girder systems
- Define prestressing tendons and construction stages
- Apply bridge load cases and combinations for structural analysis
- Evaluate stresses, deformations, and prestressing effects
