After participating in the course, you will be able to:

• Better understand the application of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code
• Apply state-of-the-art and innovative techniques for bridge rehabilitation and strengthening
• Boost your technical library with numerical examples for bridge evaluation and rehabilitation

Description
Bridges need to be rehabilitated for causes such as deteriorations due to environmental effects, deficiencies in the original design or construction or the need to carry heavier vehicular loads. Those responsible for maintaining bridges need to keep abreast of the latest techniques available for assessing the condition of their structures, as well as the methods and techniques for repairing or strengthening them.

You will focus on the technical aspects of bridge rehabilitation, such as the use of bridge inspection equipment, condition survey procedures and the latest practical methods for repairing and strengthening existing bridges. The course will provide excellent exposure of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.

Program Outline

• Typical damage of bridge structures
• CHBDC assessment and evaluation techniques
• Bridge condition assessment
• Rehabilitation of concrete and concrete-steel bridge superstructures
• Use of FPP composites in rehabilitation

Who Should Attend
Bridge rehabilitation Engineers • Structural Designers and Inspectors • Managers • Consulting Engineers • Superintendents and Contractors • Fabricators and material suppliers • Material testing personnel • Regulatory Agency staff

Special Features
The speaker has been selected for his first-hand experience with bridge design, evaluation, rehabilitation and strengthening. You will have time to meet and share experiences with others in the field. Presentations will stress practical applications. You will learn what information each technique produces and how to use this information to evaluate bridge safety and rehabilitation strategies. While the course will discuss future developments of innovative FRP technologies, it will focus on practical applications for use now.
