[WEBINAR] Assessment of Highway Masonry Arch Bridges to CS454 and CIRIA C800 with LimitState:RING 4

In the UK in 2019 National Highways introduced a new standard for the assessment of highway bridges and structures, CS454.

In 2022 CIRIA published a long-awaited guidance document on the assessment of masonry arch bridges, CIRIA C800.

LimitState:RING 4, the latest version of our industry-leading masonry arch bridge analysis software, offers a range of features to help streamline the assessment of masonry arch bridges in accordance with CS454 and CIRIA C800.

Join us on 5 December 2023 to see how LimitState:RING 4 simplifies the process of highway bridge assessment, including:

• How use of the Permissible Limit State (PLS) facilitates more discriminating assessment of the performance of bridges under working loads.

• Analysis of both the PLS and Ultimate Limit State (ULS) using LimitState:RING 4.

• Use of built-in CS454 load vehicles.

• Use of template files incorporating CS454/CIRIA C800 specific settings.

• Batch analysis using the command line interface.

Hosted by Prof. Matthew Gilbert and Dr Tom Pritchard, this 30-minute webinar will use practical examples to highlight the key features of LimitState:RING 4 that facilitate practical assessment of bridges in accordance with CS454 and CIRIA C800. Discover how the software can streamline your workflow while delivering valuable insights into the likely behaviour of masonry arch bridges.

This webinar follows on from the webinar of 15 November 2023, which provides a general introduction to LimitState:RING 4. This session showcased many of the new features and enhancements that have been incorporated in the software. If you are a bridge engineer with the responsibility for the assessment of masonry arch bridges in the UK, it is highly recommended that you also view the event recording.
