Bridge design and engineering

What is Bridge design and engineering?

LUSAS Bridge design and engineering is a world-leading finite element analysis application for the analysis, design and evaluation of all types of bridge structures.

Whether you need to perform a direct linear static analysis of a single-span road bridge, a dynamic analysis of a slender architectural steel movable walkway or a detailed geometrically non-linear assembly analysis of an important permanent cable structure involving creep and concrete contraction, LUSAS Bridge provides all the facilities you need.

Extensive result processing, visualization, and reporting facilities give you full control over what you plot and print from your analysis. In summary, LUSAS Bridge software handles simple grid/grid and slab structures with ease and has a full range of options and additional software features for more advanced bridge structures.

Why use LUSAS Bridge design and engineering?

• LUSAS Bridge design and engineering provides low-cost structural modeling and analysis (including soil-structure interaction) of any structure, in a software package.
• Global and local modeling is feature-based and allows you to mix element types in the same model.
• Advanced nonlinear geometry, modeling of materials and contacts.
• The software can be customized using the LUSAS Programmable Interface.

For all types of bridges Bridge design and engineering:
