Finite Element Analysis & Design
To ensure accurate and precise bridge design, our team utilizes a range of advanced software packages. These tools play a crucial role in analysing various aspects of bridge construction. For instance, Space Gas software enables us to simulate the live passage of a concrete truck test load cell across the bridge span. This allows us to evaluate the worst-case scenarios in terms of load distribution and lane arrangements for each specific span.
In addition, we employ Microstran spring analysis systems, which assist in assessing the behaviour of bridge components under different loads and conditions. This software aids in determining the settlement of piles, considering factors such as soil analysis, earthquake (EQ) considerations, and the potential for liquefaction. Through interactive solutions, we can analyse joint soil behaviour and address specific site conditions, ensuring comprehensive and accurate design considerations.
By harnessing the power of these software packages, we optimize the design process, considering a wide range of factors and variables. Our goal is to provide our clients with robust and resilient bridge designs that are tailored to the unique characteristics of each site. The use of advanced software enables us to make informed decisions, mitigate potential risks, and deliver optimal solutions for our client’s specific needs.
