Abstract:

This study contains the findings from a survey of available integrated computer systems for bridge analysis and design, along with a sample design of a grade separation structure using the two leading design systems, BEST and STRC. It appears that integrated design systems could be applicable to the design of common highway bridges in Virginia, and that such systems might offer savings in engineering design costs and in materials costs. Unfortunately, however, neither BEST, a public system, nor STRC, a commercial system, is readily applicable to the needs of the Virginia Department of Highways & Transportation. A public system that offers greater portability than BEST is needed.
