Blueprint Reading for Bridge Construction

Bridge construction is a specialized field in the construction industry. Each bridge is


unique, presenting a variety of challenges to the designing engineer and construction
crews. It is very important that the constructor study the drawing sets to avoid making
costly errors.

The bridge chosen for our case study is an overpass. The case study includes the
approaching ramps, abutments, piers, deck and roadbed. The 24 pages of drawings in the
study include plan drawings, longitudinal section drawings, cross section drawings,
details, various schedules and notes, as well as applicable standard drawings to describe
the bridge.

Module Learning Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- Interpret the abbreviations and equations used to describe bridge components.
- Recognize materials and objects from their patterns and symbols.
- Recognize the drawing techniques used to give construction information
and methods.
- Use a drawing set to look up and deduce information about constructing
a bridge.

To help you schedule your time, each of the 12 lessons in this module will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete. The module, including the final test, should
take between 6 and 8.5 hours to finish.
