Course Name: Critical Supervision on Segmental Bridge Construction Course
Course Timing: (8.30 AM to 3.45 PM)
STU Points: 6 STU (Approval by IES)
About the Course
The precast concrete segmental bridge construction has grown popularity worldwide in the last few
decades due to its benefits in terms of reduced costs, reduced construction time, reduced
environmental impacts, and reduced maintenance of traffic. This method of construction also offers
better means of quality control, minimum requirements for future maintenance apart from the
additional structural advantages of durability, fire resistance, deflection control, better rider
serviceability, insensitivity to fatigue, and other redundancies. These bridges can accommodate
highways, railways, and rapid transit, in both urban and rural environments. They can be straight or
curved alignments, and can provide long spans for difficult obstructions and terrain.
This course covers various bridge types, their critical components and construction methods, apart
from the choice of foundation types, pier types and special attention on precast bridge segment
production at the precast yard, handling, installation at the construction site. Bridge construction
methods and case studies on balanced cantilever, precast span-by-span erection, full span precast
erection and cast in-situ methods of construction are covered through real-life case studies of local
and international projects. Lastly post tensioning and prestressing methods relevant to segmental
bridge construction methods are also covered.
