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...
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...
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'...

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?
