With LimitState:SLAB the assessment of multiple load cases as a vehicle traverses a bridge deck can be accomplished with ease, unlocking potential surplus capacity by utilizing plastic yield line analysis rather than conservative elastic methods.

Until now, a yield-line analysis had to be done by hand, or via software which selects a yield-line failure mechanism from a small library of predefined patterns. In contrast LimitState:SLAB systematically pinpoints the critical failure mechanism from vast numbers of alternatives, for any slab geometry. Engineers can now leverage the power of the yield-method in a way that was previously impossible.
