This lecture covers the distribution of forces in concrete bridges, focusing on the dilution of concentrated efforts and foundation concentration. Topics include the diffusion of concentrated efforts, pre-contracting, and the critical buckling load of Euler for piles. The lecture also discusses the stiffness, real moments, and resistance of different piles, as well as the stability of floating bridges and the impact of friction forces on the system.
