GSA Bridge

Bridges may sometimes have simple structures, but their loading is always complex. GSA Bridge automatically optimizes the loads to a choice of international codes, plus checks for footfall vibration

GSA Bridge builds on the power of GSA Analysis and adds features required by bridge designers the world over.

Examples of GSA Bridge in action include the Gatwick Air Bridge, Falkirk Wheel, & Bamboo Bridge.


Bridge Load Optimization

GSA Bridge works out for you the critical loading regimes on your structure based on national and international design codes

Bridge load optimisation for vehicle loads

  • UK: BD37, BD21 HB, BD86 SV-TT, BD86 SV-Train, BD86 SV-150, BD86 SV-100, BD86 SV-80
  • Hong Kong: SDM
  • Australia: Manually bridge load optimisation for the draft DR 00375 of September 2001
  • US: Manually bridge load optimisation for AASHTO (edition 16)
  • Eurocode: Manually bridge load optimisation for the draft prEN 1991-2 of August

Bridge load optimization specification:

  • bridge alignments
  • vehicle paths
  • standard and user defined vehicles

Footfall analysis

GSA Bridge also includes the Footfall module. GSA Footfall is the only program available that allows you to analyse any structure for vertical footfall analysis, whether an irregular floor, a bridge or a staircase, whether concrete, steel, or composite. Further information can be found here.

See the functional specification for full details of what GSA can do for you.
