Rendered model with loading Bridge section in RF-TENDON Design Designing the Arch Bridge Jana Vlachová who was studying CTU in Prague used program RFEM for structural analysis of the concrete arch bridge as part of her Master Thesis. The project objective was to design the bridge structure crossing a valley. The project was tackled as an arch bridge with prestressed bridge deck. In addition to RFEM the following modules were used: SHAPE-MASSIVE, RF-MOVE, RF-CONCRETE Members and RF-TENDON. Definition of Paper Topic The bridge structure is 250.0 m long with a central span of 140.0 m. It stands 28.1 m tall and has width of 12.0 m. Fixed reinforced concrete arch made of parabolic curve was chosen for its structural efficiency and fine aes- thetic. Other data of the RFEM mod
