Description

This course will teach you Two ways Pedestrians Bridge Modeling, Loading, Analysis, Design and Detail Structural Drawings using Protastructure Suite and AutoCAD. We will learn how to export drawings from AutoCAD software to Protastructure Suite(Structural Analysis and Design Software) for Structural modeling.We will export the design result to prota details and further more to AutoCAD and this will be explaining properly for ease of understanding.We will produce a working drawings by detailing and editing all the structural elements such as bridge trestle (slab), column and foundation layout / footings.We will consider drawing to scale 1:100, 1:50. 1:25 etc.We will learn how to create title block to scales, arrange all drawings there in and plot.These course is for both beginners and pro in the following area of· Civil Engineering· Structural Engineering· Building Designers· Architects· People who want to become structural draftsman· People who wants to become structural designers· Building technologistA pedestrian bridge, also called a footbridge, is simply a bridge, whether over land or water, that is designed for foot traffic as opposed to vehicle traffic. Often, footbridges are constructed to give pedestrians a safe way to cross from one side of a busy road to the other. There are also pedestrian bridges built over railroad tracks, rivers, parking lots, canyons and other areas where walking could be perilous or even impossible.All the training material are uploaded for smooth flows of learning. The code of practice to be use is the British code for the use of structure and the loading of structure as well which is BS 8110 and BS6399/ EURO CODE
