About This Course

Tied-arch bridges rely on the combined behaviour of the arch, the tie, and the hangers—making their performance highly sensitive to alignment, stiffness, fatigue, and detailing. This course provides a clear, practical understanding of how tied arches work, how forces flow between components, and how construction and temperature influence long-term behaviour. Through real examples of good and bad practices, learners explore tie design, hanger arrangement, fatigue-critical details, anchorage behaviour, inspection priorities, corrosion risks, and maintenance strategies. Ideal for designers, contractors, QA/QC teams, maintenance engineers, procurement specialists, sales teams, and students, this course equips participants to design, build, inspect, and maintain safe, durable tied-arch bridges.
