Building and bridge design
Powerful tools for safer, more sustainable structures
From basic low‑rise structures to complex high‑rise or specialist buildings with challenging loading conditions, our software provides the tools you need for rigorous analysis and design.
Delivering safer, more sustainable buildings and infrastructure, on schedule and without errors, is the core challenge for modern structural engineers. Structural design demands shaping, configuring, and specifying elements that allow a structure to stand safely, support loads, and perform reliably throughout its lifetime.
With increasing crossover between structural and geotechnical engineering, designers are now expected to evaluate how buildings interact with the ground. As clients push for accelerated delivery, eliminating errors while working faster has never been more critical.
Our structural analysis solutions are built to support this reality, empowering engineers with precision, speed, and confidence.
Bridge engineering solutions
Bridges are fundamental components of global infrastructure. Even when visually simple, their design and loading conditions are complex and demand specialist tools.
Oasys software enables engineers to optimise bridge loads across multiple international codes and assess footfall vibration effectively. This means safer, better‑engineered bridges, even when clients require rapid delivery.
Complex tasks, such as analysing a beam for cracking, designing composite columns, checking prestressed sections, or determining capacity, can all be completed efficiently using Oasys AdSec.
Full-structure footfall response measurement
Footbridges are becoming lighter and more responsive, increasing the importance of designing for human‑induced vibration.
Oasys GSA provides full‑structure footfall response analysis, offering contour plots and detailed graphs to identify both satisfactory and problematic areas. This enables you to explore cost‑effective design solutions and confidently advise your clients on expected in‑use performance.
