General Information

Summary:
Course #130095A is 2½-day course presents the first half of the five-day course (Course No. FHWA-NHI-130095A and 130095B). It expands the suite of FHWA services to assist State and local governments in a successful implementation of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). This course applies the principles of LRFD to the analysis of skewed and horizontally curved steel bridges. For structural applications, the curriculum follows the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 5th Edition, 2010 (AASHTO LRFD Specifications). The training course focuses primarily on the analysis of skewed and horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges. However, the accompanying Reference Manual also includes design examples for horizontally curved steel box-girder bridges.

Learning Outcomes:
• Describe the bridge superstructure analysis process for skewed or horizontally curved steel I-girder superstructures and for horizontally curved steel box-girder superstructures in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Specifications
• Illustrate the application of the AASHTO LRFD Specifications to the analysis process for skewed and curved steel-bridge superstructures
• Demonstrate understanding of analysis specification requirements for skewed and curved steel girder bridges through the completion of participant exercises and guided walk-throughs and the review of analysis examples

Target Audience:
This course has been developed for the needs of practicing public and private sector structural and bridge engineers with 0 to approximately 20 years of experience. The primary audience is Host Agency and consultant structural designers. Pre-training Competencies: Individuals attending this course should have a minimum BSCE degree and have a working knowledge of the current AASHTO LRFD Specifications or the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. They should also have relevant design experience using either of these specifications on at least one bridge superstructure.

Final Exam:
Yes
