    Introduction To Bridge Engineering: Presentation Created by David Garber (Assistant Professor, FIU)

    Uploaded by

    Saurabh Singh
    This presentation provides an introduction to bridge engineering. It discusses the history of bridge types including arch, suspension, cable-stayed, and girder bridges. Key factors in selecting a bridge type are reviewed such as the available materials, support conditions, span details, and load types. Bridge construction methods like cast-in-place, prefabrication, and accelerated bridge construction are presented. Accelerated methods can provide benefits like shorter construction times but also challenges with new technologies. The presentation concludes with discussing bridge design software, a balsa wood bridge activity, and thanking the audience.
