BRIDGE WORKSHOP OCT. 3 AT K-STATE

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's Bridge Erection Workshop will be Friday, Oct. 3, at the K-State Student Union.

The workshop is ideal for professional engineers, engineers-in-training, contractors and engineering technicians involved in bridge fabrication and construction, bridge design, and bridge rating and inspection. It will review the latest developments in bridge design practice and load and resistance factor design. It also will provide information about available resources from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, Federal Highway Administration and the Kansas Department of Transportation.

The workshop will address the new specifications for bridge field erection, preparation of erection plans, bracing principles, fit-up details and girder transportation. It also will cover erection of both steel and pre-stressed concrete girders. It will conclude with lessons learned from past bridge collapse experiences.

More information and registration is available online at http://www.dce.k-state.edu/conf/bridgedesign or call the K-State Division of Continuing Education's conference registration office at 785-532-5569.
