Bridge Failures: Causes, Analysis & Lessons Learned
This online engineering PDH course discusses bridge failures, the causes, analysis and the lessons learned.
Bridge failure has dramatic consequences in every nation's transportation system. In addition to casualties and loss of lives, the disruption in the service results in tremendously adverse effects on economic growth. Principal causes of bridges failure can be divided into internal causes and external causes or natural factors and human factors. Design error, construction mistakes, hydraulic, collision, and overload are the top 5 leading causes, resulting in more than 70% of the bridge failures.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for licensed design professionals, forensic structural engineers, consulting engineers and licensed general contractors who are interested in understanding the real causes behind the failure of bridges and how to avoid them.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills.
- Familiarizing with the principal and specific causes of bridge failures
- Learning about the failure mechanisms of bridges due to the top 5 leading causes
- Gaining an overview of case studies of several bridge failures with detailed failure analysis of each
