Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review 1st Guidance, Structure Design Concept
2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th Computer-aided bridge design method (CAE, FEM)
3rd, 5th, 7th Design foundation of bridge engineering

As a preparation for the 2nd part of the lecture (Khaji), you are strongly recommended to study the lecture notes carefully to be able to pass the final exam.

Reviewing the contents of lectures on "strength of materials" and "structural mechanics" is also highly recommended.

Requirements Student knows/understands the knowledge of Strength material, structural mechanics.

Grading Method The grade will be rated by total of midterm (50%) and  final (50%) examination.

Practical Experience Experienced

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it It also includes the contents of lectures given by a practical designer who is an external lecturer of bridge engineering.

Message A good understanding of the lectures on "strength of materials" and "structural mechanics" is necessary.
