Autodesk Inc., a world leader in 3D design software for entertainment, natural resources, manufacturing, engineering, construction, and civil infrastructure, announced the release of Structural Bridge Design 2017. This software helps engineers achieve greater flexibility and efficiency in the design of small-to medium-span bridges integrating loading, analysis, and code checking processes whist providing an efficient workflow.
This single integrated software solution does not require valuable time importing, exporting or converting data instead it provides tools to help accelerate project completion.
Structural Bridge Design refines design options faster with automated updates in a define-analyse-code check loop whenever parameters change.
Engineers can additionally improve accuracy and reliability by reviewing code check requirements with detailed “hand” calculation-style design sheets that are created will full formulae and code referencing.
With Structural Bridge Design, users can deliver design reports faster using more accurate, reliable, consistent and verifiable data throughout the project lifecycle. These reports provide an understanding of engineering calculations involved to help maintain consistency and context throughout the project lifecycle.
To provide better understanding, the software creates side-by-side graphical displays of the data and results produced in the reports at all stages of analysis and design to offer further understanding of the results.
The design sections and bridge beams that are available within the software are based on a variety of international standards – including Eurocodes, AASHTO LRFD, British Standards as well Australian and New Zealand Standards. This allows users to create and develop their small-to-medium span bridges using required international standards before construction has commenced.
The functionality of Structural Bridge Design software can be simply broken down into three specific areas including:
- Section plan which deals with design on a section by section basis
- Girder design which works with the whole length of the girder
- Bridge Structure loading and analysis
Employing Autodesk Structural Bridge Design on your business’s projects will allow you to save time and money by utilising the tools available within the software.

This book provides the state of the art on recent progress in the high-performance concrete applications written by researchers and experts of the field. The book should be useful to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers in related fields.
Concrete is widely used because of its versatility, affordability, and availability of raw materials, strength, and durability. Urban development that took place through the world in the last few decades yielded significant developments for concrete technology. The term high-performance concrete (HPC) is relatively new, and it refers to many properties such as strength, durability, sound and heat insulation, waterproofing, and side advantages such as air purification, self-cleaning, etc. Researchers and engineers are constantly working for improving concrete properties.

In the late 1800s new design opportunities to serve business and transportation abounded, and the civil engineering profession responded with efficient design methods to meet the surging demands. Engineering Iron and Stone: Understanding Structural Analysis and Design Methods of the Late 19th Century presents a comprehensive explanation of the empirical, graphical, and analytical design techniques used during this period in the construction of both large and small buildings and bridges in wood, stone, brick, and iron. Drawing on a career-long fascination with how structural engineers do their work, Thomas Boothby provides specific examples of these analysis and design methods applied to arches, girders, trusses, beams, and columns. The numerous calculations, drawings, and photographs, both historic and contemporary, illustrate the application of these techniques to a wide range of structures. While major civil engineering works of the Gilded Age are acknowledged, Boothby focuses on the smaller, more ordinary local projects that todays engineers might encounter and analyzes the significant body of engineering design that went into their construction. Boothby also points out the historic value in preserving the engineering techniques and ideas of that era. The rapidity of computation and the intimate relationship between the structure and its analysis have been lost in the numerically intensive analytical methods currently employed. Undertaking the historic preservation or rehabilitation of structures from the late 19th century can be challenging. Understanding the original design intent, however, can aid in a successful outcome. The quick and computationally efficient methods described in this book can assist present day engineers in understanding the behavior of these structures and give insight into their actual performance.
