Design Scenarios


Typical Bridge Design Scenarios that ABES-UK Can Help Solve:


Here are some typical scenarios that our prospective customers put to us:

  • We have won a bridge design competition in a seismic zone, but we do not have sufficient seismic design expertise.
  • The contractor has found a problem on site and cannot build a critical element as drawn. We need a fast practical re-design, preferably by yesterday.
  • We know we can save steel on the compression flanges of a proposed steel composite bridge, but we do not have the expertise to really "tweak" the bare-steel construction stages.
  • We have a very long viaduct to design, and know that even very small savings on materials can make a huge difference to the overall price, and need some advice.
  • We are planning a signature footbridge, and need to ensure that it is comfortable under both pedestrian and wind loadings.
  • We need new high powered finite element analysis software with a proven track record in bridges, and we also need training and support to make the transition as easy as possible.
