ASEP A.CONCEPT Lecture: Design of Concrete Bridges


ASEP Summit 2012 invites you to an A.CONCEPT lecture on:
What: LEC-02: Design of RC Bridges
When: June 8, 2012
Time: 13:30-15:00
Where: La Breza Hotel, QC
Who: Resource Speaker – Alden Paul D. Balili
About the Lecture:

The National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2011 Volume II Bridges, 3rd Edition is  updated to incorporate the latest bridge code provisions by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). This lecture intends to discuss the changes to key provisions in the Bridge code. Also, the concepts and principles behind the code provisions would also be discussed for a deeper understanding of the listener.
The lecture will be divided into two parts namely, (1) superstructure and the (2) substructure. The basic design steps for the superstructure will be discussed with emphasis on the allowable stress design checks for prestressed bridges, then the key code provisions and design concepts will be also be discussed but the emphasis will be on the seismic design for the substructure.

Keywords: Bridge Design, Seismic Analysis
