    A study of the analysis, design and rating of highway bridges, including consideration of dead and vehicular loads, analysis of typical systems, service and ultimate strength behavior, rating of existing bridge design, and bridge operations. Composite and non-composite steel and concrete bridges are considered. This course will include several investigations that will require field trips outside the scheduled class times. Prerequisite: CE 4260 and 4250.

    Broad-based coverage of the behavior of concrete, both at the member and structure level. The course will have no assigned text, although students will be expected to have an undergraduate concrete design textbook and a current ACI Code. Readings will include a number of technical papers in each area covered. Emphasis will be on the background of the code, code development, and investigative techniques. Prerequisite: CE 4200 and 4260.
