This hands-on, follow-along course is designed to provide civil and structural engineers with in-depth, practical knowledge on the modeling, analysis, and design of a prestressed I-girder composite bridge in MIDAS Civil, following the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
The course walks you through every stage of the project lifecycle—starting from bridge geometry modeling, defining prestressing, applying moving loads, setting up construction stages, and running analysis, to extracting design forces and performing superstructure design checks.
Whether you're a bridge design beginner or a professional looking to sharpen your software skills, this course provides clear, guided exercises and real-world design techniques to boost your proficiency.
