Seismic Design of Bridges: Practical Detailing & Performance


Learn practical seismic detailing to ensure bridges perform safely, predictably and resiliently during earthquakes.

About This Course

Seismic design is ultimately won or lost in the details. This course provides a clear, practical understanding of how bridges behave in earthquakes and how detailing, articulation, bearings and seismic devices shape that behaviour. Through real examples of good and bad practices, learners explore ductility, displacement capacity, hinge detailing, unseating prevention, pounding control and soil–structure interaction. Ideal for designers, contractors, QA/QC teams, maintenance professionals, procurement specialists and students, this course equips participants to deliver bridges that perform safely, reliably and predictably during major earthquakes.
