"New facilities for
the design of bridges and other structures"
Vantaa,
Helsinki, Finland
19 November 2014 from
9.00am - 1pm
The event partners are pleased to
announce that a half-day Seminar on
"New facilities for the design of bridges and other structures" will take
place in Vantaa (near Helsinki), Finland, on 19 November 2014.
This event will show how a selection of key
new facilities in LUSAS version 15, which improve and extend the modelling, design and
analysis capabilities available, can be of use to you in your
work.
Come along to learn about the latest methods for
modelling concrete, steel, and composite/ integral
structures,
and to discuss your general
modelling and analysis issues with LUSAS users and other engineers, scientists, researchers and
students in a
relaxed, informal environment.
Organisation
This half-day event is organised and presented
jointly by:
- Mr Pertti Rytky, Managing
Director of Cimera Oy.
- Mr
Philip Icke, European Regional Manager, LUSAS, UK.
- Mr
Steve Rhodes, Principal Bridge Engineer, LUSAS, UK.

 Easy
to use lift-off supports and reinforced concrete slab design to
Finnish code
- A simple bridge
model is used to show the use of the multiple analysis facility,
the use of lift-off supports, and slab design available in
Version 15.0 of LUSAS, showing bar
reinforcement detailis and crack checking based on SFS-EN
1992-2/NA:2010.

 Cable
tuning analysis for linear structures
- For many
structures it is vital control the deflected shape during
construction or under imposed loading. The cable tuning
analysis facility is used to calculate cable forces in a cable
stayed footbridge to meet a user defined pre-cambered profile,
as well as limiting the main tower displacement and bending
moment to acceptable values.

 Traffic
Load Optimisation for beams.
- A review of
the techniques available in LUSAS for carrying out influence
analysis and the use of the new Direct Method, combined with the
traffic load optimisation tool to create Eurocode traffic design
loads
on a line beam model of an arch bridge.

 Integral
bridges and the modelling of soil-structure interaction
-
The new tri-linear (active/passive) earth
pressure joint material in V15.0 of LUSAS simplifies the modelling
of soil-structure interaction problems such as the design
of integral bridges, retaining walls, and other
structures.. Both
ground and structure can be modelled in a single model,
allowing upper and lower bound values to be investigated.
