SOFiSTiK Training – Post-tensioned Concrete Bridges, a free Online Training Course

Vor kurzem hat die SOFiSTiK AG einen kompletten Onlinekurs zum Thema Spannbetonbrücken in deutscher Sprache frei für alle Anwender und Interessenten veröffentlicht. Der Inhalt entspricht der normalen 3-tägigen Einführungsschulung FEM Brückenbau. Ich sage einmal vielen Dank an die Kollegen  und wünsche Ihnen viel Spaß beim Anschauen und Lernen.

Auf dieser Seite habe ich für Sie die einzelnen Blöcke schön übersichtlich und in der richtigen Reihenfolge aufgelistet. Sie müssen/dürfen … sich nur von oben nach unten durcharbeiten. Diesen Kurs gibt es auch in englischer Sprache. Sie finden in auf der Seite: „SOFiSTiK Training – Post-tensioned Concrete Bridges, a free Online Training Course“.

SOFiSTiK AG recently published a complete online course on the subject of prestressed concrete bridges in English, free for all users and interested parties. The content corresponds to the normal 3-day introductory training in FEM bridge construction. I would like to say thank you very much to my colleagues and I hope you enjoy watching and learning.

On this page I have listed the individual blocks clearly and in the correct order for you. You only have to / may … work your way through from top to bottom. This course will also be available in German in the long term, but I cannot tell you when that will be the case.
