CAP Collaboration Series: Signature Pedestrian Bridges with KPFF

Join our Corporate Allied Partner KPFF Consulting Engineers for an hour long Continuing Education class on signature pedestrian bridges.

Course Description

Signature pedestrian bridges often showcase slender and unique systems with exposed structural components.  Pushing the limits of bridge deck slenderness requires a performance-based engineering approach for occupant comfort to account for dynamic wind and pedestrian movements. Elegant bridges often feature exposed structural systems and complex geometries that call for enhanced care when detailing.  Learn about occupant comfort and detailing strategies used in local signature bridge structures through a series of design examples.

Learning Objectives

• The participants will be able to list the potential sources for occupant discomfort considered during structural design.
• The participants will be able to describe tools used to optimize the performance of pedestrian bridges.
• The participants will be able to resolve detailing challenges for complex steel connection geometries.
• The participants will be able to identify detailing considerations for exposed concrete structures.
