Perform comprehensive calculations on design members for steel or steel/composite bridge decks. Version 20 facilities now include design checks for Strength/ULS bending stress and interaction effects, SLS, fatigue, shear connector and stiffener design, based on stresses built up through the stages of construction and in-service.
Defining models
Obtain full details of the calculations made, referencing all relevant clauses and equations from the design code, and output to a model report.
Increase the complexity of the analysis model without changing the design data, and evaluate the effect of a design change, without having to change or solve the analysis model each time.
For use with 2D Grillage/Plate and 3D element model types.
Watch and learn
Watch the steps involved to carry out a design check of a composite girder member of a 3-span curved bridge deck in LUSAS to AASHTO LRFD 8th Edition.
