Webinar: Rail bridge assessment using LUSAS with relevant guidance

This webinar describes the key considerations in the modelling of a U-frame rail bridge when the purpose is to obtain improved buckling resistance as compared to Code Of Practice rules. It explains why such advantages may exist and show, in real time, the ease and speed with which such a model can be created and analysed using LUSAS. Useful checklists are given, and references will include Network Rail's Guidance Note NR/GM/CIV/025 and BS5400-3:2000. The use of elastic critical (eigen) buckling analysis and nonlinear modelling techniques are also discussed. (LUSAS Version 15.2)
