The assessment of the Byker Viaduct is completed using a three-dimensional line model in. The viaduct is drawn up in AutoCAD and imported to midas Civil due to the complex geometry which saves a lot of time in creating the model. The bearings are modeled as elastic links which provide simple results extraction to check the bearing schedule. The load inputs for permanent and live loads are straightforward due to the intuitive menu. The way the program output results provide simple extraction of required data.
