Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 135 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Markus Enders-Comberg
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ingrid Düsing

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will:
_ will be able to design and construct bridges in steel, concrete or composite construction. One of the main focuses here is the development of the load-bearing system and the cross-section, while taking into account the determining factors and the geometry of the terrain. The students´ scientific knowledge will be developed, adapted and applied to practical tasks.
_ During the design process, students will acquire the ability to use design and structural frame analysis programs for bridge construction.
_ They will learn how to deal with standards, as well as their scientific interpretation and application to new questions and tasks.


[updated 28.09.2020]
Module content:
_ Load assumptions for bridges
