ArcelorMittal has released an updated and debugged version of its Advance Bridge Expert software, a pre-design tool for composite bridges with hot rolled sections. The software was developed by Graitec with support from ArcelorMittal.

Advance Bridge Expert is dedicated to the pre-design of straight, skewed, and/or curved bridges for roads, railways, and pedestrians according to EN Eurocodes. Superstructures can be designed as filler beam, composite, or PreCoBeam construction. For railway bridges, the software allows for the dynamic pre-design of high-speed trains according to EN 1991-2.

We invite you to visit our Software page to download Advance Bridge Expert version 2023.

Two new lectures have just been added to SiCA: Steel in Construction Academy for the design of steel and composite bridges with even more lectures coming soon!

Designing steel and composite bridges

Our two new lectures include 'The design of steel and composite bridges', parts 1 and 2.

Part 1 introduces steel and composite bridges, discusses bridge components and structural systems, and describes the common types of steel bridge - plate girder, box girder, and truss girder bridges.

Part 2 covers footbridges, moving bridges, and service bridges and provides initial guidance in the selection of bridge form and span, including viaducts.

Our ever-expanding list of lectures

Our current list of 60+ steel in construction lectures is just the beginning. We will continue to add more and more lectures, covering topics such as sustainable construction with steel, energy efficiency, and the circular economy to list just a few.

What is SiCA?

SiCA: Steel in Construction Academy is our newest Constructalia feature. SiCA is a self-learning online platform for those in, or joining, the construction industry focussed on the use of steel as the material of choice for construction applications and required performances.
