This course provides general information about importance of bridges, number of bridges, administration of bridges as well as needs and expectations. Types of bridges are defined with regard to traffic, materials, fabrication/construction, and structural types. The major considerations are reviewed in selection of bridge location. Bridge design philosophy based on limit states is presented for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) and compared with the allowable stress design and Load Factor Design. Four types of limit states introduced in the AASHTO LRFD Code are discussed. Bridge LRFD Design is the first of four courses in the Bridge Design and Evaluation series. The series objective is to present the approach to design and evaluation of highway bridges. The design is based on the AASHTO LRFD Code and evaluation on the AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges. The presentation includes the design philosophy, procedures and practical examples.

Distance Learning CourseAndrzej Nowak
Dr. Nowak is Professor and Department Chair of Civil Engineering at Auburn University, after 25 years at the University of Michigan and 8 years at the University of Nebraska. He received his MS and Ph.D. from the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland. His area of expertise is structural reliability and bridge engineering, and major research accomplishments include the development of a reliability-based calibration procedure for calculate ion of load and resistance factors. The procedure was successfully applied on calibration of AASHTO LRFD design code for bridges, ACI 318 Code for Concrete Buildings, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, and British Standard BS-5400. He made important contributions in the area of bridge diagnostics and evaluation, including analytical load models used for prediction of extreme load events for bridges and buildings and the development of efficient experimental procedures for weigh-in-motion measurement of truck loads, dynamic loads on bridges and fatigue load spectra. In the area of materials, Dr. Nowak has developed a design guide for self-consolidating concrete (SCC), including field applications. Dr. Nowak has authored over 450 technical publications, and chaired a number of committees associated with professional organizations such as: ASCE, ACI, TRB IABSE and IABMAS. He is a Fellow of ASCE, ACI and IABSE, he received the ASCE Moisseiff Award, IFIP WG 7.5 Award, Bene Merentibus Medal, Kasimir Gzowski Medal from the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers.
