Seminar - “Exploring Bridge Analysis
Techniques for Better Design Solutions”
|
This technical seminar will benefit any
bridge engineer wishing to keep up with
the latest analytical methods. It is
not a product specific event.
The seminar examines the basic theory
behind most of the popular analytical
methods and discusses the benefits of
each against various types of
structure.
At the end of the seminar, an engineer
will be able to apply the techniques
covered on a variety of bridge
structures, thus enabling safer and
more economical bridge designs to be
produced.
Please contact us for
details of availability and prices.

Various modelling techniques are
examined, tested and validated with
reference to numerous worked examples,
some of which cover:
- Sensitivity
testing of
skewed/orthogonal/FE/grillages
- Comparison of
results from an FE and grillage
composite beam/slab
- Examples of the
effect of non-rigid supports
- An example of
composite moment calculations
- The effect of
cracked concrete over the supports of a
composite beam
- Calculations of
transverse shear flexibility in a
cellular deck
- How grillages
perform with in-plane loads
- Structural
behaviour at the joint of a folded
plate
- Mesh density
convergence test
- Use of
compression-only elements to model
masonry arch behaviour
- A demonstration
of the importance of modelling
variations in neutral axis depth
