[WEBINAR] Introducing LimitState:RING 4.0 - Better Masonry Arch Bridge Analysis

This webinar has now taken place. Watch on our YouTube channel.

The release of LimitState:RING version 4 marks the culmination of several years of development to our industry-leading masonry arch analysis software.

In this webinar we showcase some of the new features and enhancements that have been incorporated in this major new release, including:

  • Highly flexible definition of bridge geometry, with an enhanced wizard and CAD import functionality to handle the most geometrically complex structures.

  • Enhanced handling of vehicle loading scenarios, including new automatic vehicle positioning functionality to expedite identification of critical load cases.

  • A new Permissible Limit State (PLS) analysis mode to assess bridge performance under working loads.

  • Template file functionality to speed up the assessment of bridges with shared properties or project settings.

  • A command-line interface to support batch analysis.

  • Numerous other improvements, including an expanded vehicle database, new pre-solve diagnostics, and a greatly enhanced software user interface.

In this 30-minute webinar, Dr Tom Pritchard and software originator Prof. Matthew Gilbert use practical examples to illustrate many of the new software features. You will gain insights into how this significant upgrade can help undertake more informed masonry arch analysis, helping to more reliably assess these critical components of our transport infrastructure.

A second webinar, on 5 December 2023, will focus on practical application of LimitState:RING 4 to the assessment of UK highway structures in alignment with UK Standards for Highways code CS454 and recently published guidance document, CIRIA C800. If you are a bridge engineer who assesses, or has a responsibility for assessing, single and multi-span highway bridges, be sure to sign up for this webinar .
