Course Content
The EC2 for Concrete Bridge Designerscourse is designed for bridge engineers and structural designers who want to gain a clear understanding of Eurocode 2 Part 2 (EN 1992-2) and its application to concrete bridge design. Suitable for those with minimal previous experience in concrete bridge design, this practical course provides the essential knowledge needed to design safe, efficient, and compliant structures under the Eurocode framework.
Participants will explore the fundamental design approach of Eurocode 2and how it applies specifically to bridges. The course introduces the application of actions and combinations of actions, including detailed discussions on highway loading applied to bridge decks. Through practical examples and step-by-step explanations, delegates will gain confidence in applying EC2 design principles to real projects.
