Description
This technical webinar demonstrates the practical application of CS454 bridge assessment through real UK project case studies, presented by Abinash Acharya, Technical Lead Bridge Engineer at WSP.
The session explains how CS454 and associated DMRB standards are applied to two representative bridge assessment projects and how these requirements are efficiently implemented in MIDAS CIVIL NX:
-
A multi-span post-tensioned concrete bridge assessed in accordance with CS 454 and CS 455
-
A steel–concrete composite bridge assessed in accordance with CS454, CS455, CS456 and CS457
Key technical challenges — such as geometric complexity, modelling strategy, construction sequence effects, and assessment-driven decision-making — are discussed in the context of real engineering practice.
