This document outlines the course objectives and structure for a course on bridge design. The course covers loads and forces on bridges, different types of bridge structures like beams, girders, and culverts. It examines materials like reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete. The course teaches selection of bridge parameters, analysis methods like grillage and finite element, and design principles for various bridge types. On completion, students will be able to explain bridge types, design RC culverts and tee beams, design bearings and substructures, and explain design of prestressed and steel bridges. The course consists of 5 units over 45 periods.
