What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to model beams, determine reactions, and create precise shear and bending moment diagrams for basic bridge structures. You'll master sign conventions, piecewise and singularity functions, load superposition, and parametric verification, plus conduct code-compliant load studies, documentation, and safety-oriented analysis for practical engineering projects.
