Typical Bridge, Civil and Structural Applications

Latest LUSAS Video Presentation		Last LUSAS webinar
LUSAS Version 18 Update Presentation Version 18.0 sees the introduction of a new reinforced concrete frame design software option; the Vehicle Load Optimisation software option extended to provide Rail Load Optimisation; and the Heat of Hydration software option enhanced to model the time (hydration) dependent behaviour of concrete from time of casting to old age. Watch this short overview presentation to find out more about these and other important enhancements in this release.		RC Design Checking in LUSAS Verison 18 Three presentation sessions highlighted new and existing facilities in LUSAS version 18 for reinforced concrete beam, column, pile, slab and wall design to Eurocodes for these application areas: Buildings - defining reinforcement details to allow a design check to be undertaken. Bridges - design checking of non-standard and complex deck and pier sections. Circular tanks - applying the slab and wall designer to the reinforcement of any type and shape of walled structure. Presented on 21 August 2019. Recording to be made available shortly.
