what do you expect to learn, based on theory, practice, design sowftware of bridge engineering (300 words)
Bride engineering is very essential branch of civil engineering. It is a structure that is built to provide span and passage over liver, lakes or go bypassing some cities. The function required from the bridge and the area where it is constructed would decide the bridge engineering. It would be easy and better to design the bridges using the softwares. One of the most popular software that is being used in the designing of bridge and structural analysis is STAADPRO. It may be used for various reasons like bridge, tunnel, building and some other civil engineering structures. Many things can be learned by these softwares. Your practical as well as theoretical knowledge both will be increased by operating these king of software designing as we have to apply pure knowledge of truss, tension and the forces acting on it. It will give an idea about how the bridge will look. We would experience enriched problem solving at every stage of the project delivery process starting from the project planning to design and simulation process of structural analysing.
Other than the practical knowledge these softwares would also help in gaining the Theoretical knowledge as we will be able to know about the components, materials and sun parts being used in the bridge design and construction. All these things are being covered under the Theoretical portion of learning. As the time progresses and practice is being increased, it would lead to learning if new things and objectives regarding the software knowledge and would help to learn about various new tools. But it is also preferred to have previous knowledge about the structures, the forces acting on it and different kind of materials and resources that are to be used in it.
