Bridge Design

Bridge Design is a vital topic to focus in Civil Engineering. Bridges are the primary example to prove the importance of Civil Engineers.In the Bridge Design Workshop, participants will design and fabricate their own bridge. The bridge model made by participants can take up to 1000 times the self-weight.The workshop includes instruction on the key structural components of Structural engineering and bridge construction – beams, arches, trusses, suspensions, and test for maximum load.

Students learn about different bridges and how they work.
Introduction to Bridge Design through interactive lecture sessions with good multimedia content
Interactive practical session on CAD based Bridge Design, Fabrication and Testing
Bridge model is self-fabricated and tested model by each team
Exposure to current industry methods used in bridge design
The program is designed to take the participants through the technical concepts involved in Civil Engineering
This workshop is a unique opportunity to avail hands-on experience of Civil Engineering projects.
Group Discussion on exposure to latest Techniques .

Lecture & Design:Participants would be taught various concepts involved in Structural engineering and Bridge Design and are made to perform CAD based analysis of their respective bridges
Fabrication :Each team will fabricate their own bridge according to their design with the raw material provided by us
Testing :This session is the most interesting part of this workshop where the participants bridge is tested for maximum load to judge the maximum efficiency of the bridge. Teams with maximum efficiency will be given Best Design Award
