Bridge Design Training
Bridge Design Training
(OP)
I've had quite a bit of experience in building structural design. I now want to look into bridge structural design. I'm looking for recommendations for workshops, books or websites where I can learn basic and advanced bridge design. I would appreciate any help I can get on this.

I'm looking for short courses on bridge design. I didn't see any education type seminars on the website, just meetings.
I'm also looking for specific recommendations for text or other publication. I know AASHTO sells a lot of publications. Are there any specific recommendations you may suggest I start with?
Thanks for any advice you may be able to give.

PCI has a good online resource called the "Bridge Design Manual" which is aimed at prestressed concrete bridge structures. I have used this reference quite a bit.

Warning! This book is not updated to the new edition of the code. I contains old load factors and doesn't refer you to the AASHTO at all, so there is no way to check to see what has changed.
It is great for general knowledge about bridges, but don't count on it for design examples.
Does anyone have a nice simple steel line girder design example anywhere (ASSHTO LRFD please)?
