    Bridge over Environmentally Sensitive Area

    Funding is limited, scheduling is open - County Project in FL. I assume that construction will involve precast elements. Anticipated sequencing: drive piles for bent ahead, install pile cap, install precast slabs (or precast beams w/CIP Deck), advance crane, repeat process. This type of...

    Bridge over Environmentally Sensitive Area

    I am looking for a type of bridge construction that minimizes impacts to a marshy area that will be crossed. It will be a low-level (causeway type) structure, presumably on pile bents, with repetitive spans for approximately 1500' total length. A "Top-Down" type of construction would be...

    Bridge Design Software

    I am currently using MDX Software (which handles LRFD) or SIMON (which does not handle LRFD). Each of these programs are adequate for line girder analyses, and MDX also does multi-girder grid analysis. However, I am looking for a Bridge Design Program that will handle a Stringer, Floor Beam...

    LRFD Empirical Deck Design

    Does anyone have experience with the use of the Empirical Method of Deck Slab Design for bridges configured with Main Girders, Floor Beams and Sub-girders? I have a 280' span bridge, with 120" deep Main Plate Girders at 20' spacings, and an intermediate W24 sub-girder between each, at 10'...

    BRIDGE DESIGN SOFTWARE

    I need to design a steel bridge with a Girder, Floor Beam, Stringer configuration, using LRFD design. Span lengths are 180' and 280' continuous. Are there any bridge design programs that are compatible with this type of structure?
