Automation Design of Reinforced Concrete Bridges

The scope of work includes developing standard technical documentation at detail design level for reinforced concrete bridges under the current standards in Democratic Republic of Congo, with international best practices. The technical documentation is developed for the following bridge length from 5m to 21m span (6 alternatives), width a clear deck width of 4.0m, and for two (2) abutment's typologies (masonry and RC abutments).

Abutments heights varies from 3.50m to 6.00m (6 height alternatives), and the analysis is performed for three (3) different seismic zone. The combination of bridge length, abutment typologies, abutment heights and seismic zones leads to 216 bridge configurations, and the autmation produces: Design Brief, Set of Calculations, Numerical Models, Bill of Quantities, and Drawings.
