Bridge engineering and geotechnical insight,
from three different perspectives
Hosted in Iași, this in-person seminar brings together practising bridge engineers and the MIDAS IT Europe technical team for a day of applied, project-driven presentations: comparing classical hand calculations against a staged-construction MIDAS model on a Eurocode composite bridge, showing how APIs and Excel-driven workflows automate culvert design, and walking through the soil-structure interaction analysis of a real Romanian integral bridge currently under construction.
Whether you work on infrastructure design, structural assessment, or geotechnical analysis, the sessions are built around real engineering workflows and real project examples, followed by open discussion over coffee.
WHO IT'S FOR
Bridge, structural and geotechnical engineers working on infrastructure design and analysis
FORMAT
One-day in-person seminar with three technical talks, a coffee break, and open discussion
TOPICS COVERED
- Eurocode composite bridge verification
- API-based automation for culverts
- Soil-structure interaction for an integral bridge under construction in Romania
VENUE
Technical University Gheorghe Asachi, Iași, Romania
Three real projects behind the talks
Each session is grounded in an actual project from the speaker's own practice.
Composite Bridge: Hand Calc vs MIDAS
Eurocode verification through staged construction, creep & shrinkage, and prestressing, checked by hand and in MIDAS.
API-Automated Culvert Design
An Excel ↔ Midas Connector ↔ Civil NX workflow that removes repetitive modelling steps from culvert analysis.
Integral Bridge: Soil-Structure Interaction
A Romanian integral bridge under construction, modelled with pile-soil springs in Civil NX, with a look at extending into GTS NX.
What you'll take away
By the end of the day, you'll see how bridge and geotechnical projects move from calculation to a verified, automated MIDAS workflow.
Hand calculations meet finite element verification
See how classical Eurocode stress calculations compare against a staged-construction MIDAS model on a real composite bridge.
Automating repetitive engineering workflows
Learn how Excel, APIs and Midas Connector cut modelling time and improve consistency in day-to-day design work.
Modelling the ground beneath the structure
Walk through soil-structure interaction on a real integral bridge under construction, from pile springs to a full GTS NX model.
One day, three perspectives
