Bridge Steels and their Mechanical Properties: 4 PDH

$24.00

In this course the student will gain a comprehensive understanding of the types, properties, manufacturing processes, and performance characteristics of structural steels used in bridge construction. They will understand how various steel grades are selected based on mechanical properties, environmental conditions, and fabrication needs.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE

SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

    • Identify and differentiate various grades of bridge steel, especially those covered under the ASTM A709 specification.
    • Explain the mechanical behaviors of bridge steels, including stress-strain response, ductility, hardness, and fracture toughness.
    • Describe steel manufacturing processes and their influence on the final mechanical properties and uniformity of bridge steels.
    • Evaluate the corrosion resistance and service conditions that influence the choice of weathering versus non-weathering steels.
    • Assess the weldability and fabrication techniques applicable to different grades of bridge steel, including cutting, bending, and machining.
    • Interpret applicable AASHTO and ASTM standards to ensure compliance and best practices in bridge design and steel selection.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a 20 question multiple-choice quiz. The quiz can be retaken unlimited times until a passing grade of 70% or better is earned. This course satisfies four (4) hours of professional development (PDH).
