A basic, practical course

Highway Bridge DesignDecember 9–11, 2013 in Madison, Wisconsin

“Made otherwise complex ideas very simple.”

Matthew Dotta, PEStar Building Systems, La Crosse, Wisconsin

“My structures course in college covered LRFD, but not in depth—it was great to have

a refresher.”Michael Wilson

Williams & Works, Inc., Grand Rapids, Michigan

“LRFD design problems were practical and covered most

every aspect.”Dan Zacharski

DB Sterlin Consultants, Inc., Chicago, Illinois

“Excellent. Prof. Oliva kept my attention throughout

the whole class. This course further helped my

understanding of design tasks that I perform on a daily basis

and introduced me to new design topics that I was not

previously aware of.”Athena Yiantsos, Structural EngineerAECOM Transportation, Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania

“I liked the course very much. It will help me in my designs

and was easy to follow.”Naveed Akhtar

K. Singh & Associates, Elm Grove, Wisconsin

Why You Should AttendUpon completion you will:• Have a working knowledge of basic

highway bridge engineering and design under the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 6th Edition

• Receive practical answers to your basic questions about bridge design

• Hear the latest information about design procedures, materials, and methods being used in current highway bridge engineering practice, including research

Who Should Attend• Bridge engineers• Structural engineers• Qualified engineering technicians• Managers• Contractors• State and federal officials• ConsultantsNo bridge design experience is required for this course, but a background of structural engineering is necessary. This is not an advanced course. Please review the Course Outline and Schedule to learn what will be covered. Take action. Enroll today!

Special Benefit for Course AttendeesAs a course participant, you will receive a course notebook with information and examples and references for use back home in your organization for doing practical highway bridge engineering and design. These materials (please leave room in your suitcase) will enable you to reap the rewards of these sessions and to learn in the future as you work with highway bridge projects. They are not available for sale to those not attending this course. And remember, as of 2010 all state bridges will be designed using the LRFD method, and all local bridges with federal funding will require LRFD. Learn now.Note: Bring your calculator; and come prepared to discuss your bridge design problems and get answers.

Meet Your Course InstructorProfessor Michael G. Oliva is a structural engineer and a member of the University of Wisconsin–Madison civil and environmental engineering faculty. He has conducted research to develop design methods for a variety of bridge types and has written specifications adopted by AASHTO for bridge design. A fellow in PCI, he is active in the PCI Bridge Committee and has interests in design methods, FRP and sustainability.
