Essential Eurocode 2 for Bridges
- Eurocode 2 for Bridges design standard explained practically.
- Learn to apply Eurocode 2 to beams, slabs, and piers.
- Design for flexure, shear, axial loading, deflection, and fatigue.
- Course covers materials, durability, and structural analysis.
- Intended for Structural Engineers with some concrete design knowledge.
Overview
The Online Essential Eurocode 2 for Bridges course introduces the new design standard for structural concrete in bridges. It aims to provide delegates with a thorough understanding of Eurocode 2 and how to apply it to bridge structures, covering topics such as materials, durability, and structural analysis. Practical workshop sessions help participants gain confidence in using Eurocode 2 for real projects. The course is designed for Structural Engineers and requires basic knowledge of concrete design and Eurocodes 0 and 1.

Course Content
Introduction
Eurocode 2 is the new design standard for structural concrete in bridges. This course will provide background to the provisions in the code and explain how to apply them to bridge structures. Practical workshop sessions allow delegates to get to grips with the details and be confident of using Eurocode 2 for real projects.
