COMPOSITE ROAD BRIDGE

Independent design analysis and verification of the steel-concrete composite superstructure of a 34m span and 10.5m wide road bridge carrying two traffic lanes and a pedestrian walkway, as a consultant to a New Zealand based client. The bridge verification is carried out using non-linear FEA with the aim of comparing our results with the calculations produced by the client analyses. The bridge is checked for the effects of traffic, wind, temperature and earthquake in both the construction and final phases.
