About This Course

Truss bridges are efficient and elegant—but their many connections and slender members make them highly sensitive to fatigue, distortion, and local deterioration. This course provides a clear, practical understanding of truss behaviour, common fatigue hotspots, inspection priorities, and strengthening strategies. Using real examples of good and bad practices, learners explore gusset plate failures, welded attachment fatigue, distortion-induced stresses, corrosion effects, and modern retrofit techniques. Ideal for designers, contractors, QA/QC teams, maintenance engineers, procurement specialists, sales teams, and students, this course equips participants to identify risks early and apply effective strengthening and rehabilitation solutions.
