About the course
This tutorial demonstrates the complete SOFiSTiK workflow for the analysis and design of a three-span reinforced concrete slab bridge.
Participants learn how to create a new SSD project, define materials and cross sections, generate the structural system in SOFiPLUS, apply permanent, temperature and traffic loads, perform linear analysis, define construction stages, create design combinations and execute design checks for area and beam elements.
The tutorial also introduces the load stepping method for traffic load evaluation and concludes with project documentation. It provides a practical bridge engineering example based on Eurocode design principles.
