Bridge assessment of a composite deck system
Bridge assessment of a composite deck system Case Study Re-assessment of previously failed deck system for 40tonne loading Linear static analysis with model upgrading and element activation/deactivation Signi?cant savings in time and money over previously proposed re- habilitation schemes Tony Gee and Partners used LUSAS Bridge for the analytical study of load and stress distribution of Neasden Lane Overbridge in London. The bridge comprises two historically distinct deck systems that are proposed to be made composite by installing a load sharing mechanism. Re-assessment of the bridge superstructure to UK code BD 21/01 for 40tonne loading wasrequired as part of the Network Rail Framework Contract BG3 Programme. As a result of the assessment signi?cant savings in time and costs were made ov
