Numerous stresses had to be tested for wind, earthquakes, failure of tension cables, etc. The area where the bridge was being built, in addition to the unique design features, posed a tremendous challenge. In 2007, an official competition was advertised for this project and won by the engineering office Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner (LAP). With an arched span of 870 feet, a superstructure length of 1,368 feet and a height of 722 feet above the valley floor, the Tamina Bridge is the largest arched bridge in Switzerland. Tamina Bridge, Pfäfers Engineering office Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner, Switzerland. Read these reference projects and case studies to see for yourself how Allplan enabled the realization of these bridges. See from the customer’s point of view how Allplan Bridge and Engineering software was used in dynamic and endeavoring build projects, and how the ease of 3D modeling contributed tremendously to their success.ĭiscover new challenges and complex problems in customer problems solved with modern CAD software. Complex geometries including double-curved alignment and varying cross-sections can be easily created with the help of alphanumeric entries and stored formulas, making model configuration quick and efficient. The cross-section of the bridge as well as its variation along the alignment are described parametrically. The parametric model considers the plan alignment and the vertical profile of a road or a railroad. The unique model enables quick and efficient management of the changes that occur during the design process, saving both time and money. Generate construction documents, drawings, schedules and reportsĪllplan Bridge is a powerful parametric 3D modeling solution to assist the bridge engineer with the design and detailing of bridges, especially prestressed-concrete and composite bridges.
