CSI BRIDGE

Modeling, analysis and design of bridge


structures have been integrated into CSiBridge to
create the ultimate in computerized engineering
tools.
COMPUTERS &
STRUCTURES, INC.
Founded in 1975, Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) is recognized globally
as the pioneering leader in software tools for structural and earthquake
engineering. Software from CSI is used by thousands of engineering firms in
over 160 countries for the design of major projects. CSI produces primary
software including: SAP2000, CSiBridge, SAFE, and many other more.
HISTORY
Bridges are a very special class of structures. They are characterized by their complexity
in bridge geometry and loading. The geometry of a bridge structure is defined by a number
of features that include the alignment (both vertical and horizontal) and the superstructure
type. The geometry of a bridge may become more complex when certain features of the
bridge vary across spans such as girder depths, deck widths and girder properties.
Support conditions can also contribute to the complexity of a bridge model.
ADVANTAGES

PACKAGE AUTOMATED EFFICIENT


CSiBridge has been developed as The effects of vehicle live loads Includes pre-defined templates for
the ultimate, easy-to-use, can be combined with static and various bridge types, such as cable-
integrated software program. The stayed, suspension, concrete, and
dynamic loads, and envelopes of
ease with which all of these critical steel bridges. Supports automated
the response can be computed.
tasks can be accomplished meshing and detailing for complex
structures.
BENEFITS
MODELING
The bridge models are defined parametrically, using common bridge engineering terms such
as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges and post-tensioning.

ANALYSIS
CSiBridge load case options include static, staged construction, multi-step static, modal,
response spectrum, time(response) history, moving load, buckling, steady state and more.

DESIGN
Design fully integrated with the analysis process and includes design options for concrete box girder bridges, multicell
box girder bridges, concrete slab bridges, concrete T-beam, steel I-girder and steel U-girder with composite slab
bridges.
OUTPUT
You can display deformed geometry based on any load or combination of loads, as well as
animations of modes.

OPTIMIZATION
It offers the best or most effective use of a situation or resource.
"We were so impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the entire team. They were
always responsive to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction."

STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
CSiBridge creates joints automatically at structural object intersections or internal joints when meshing
"The qualitystructural
of the construction was exceptional. We are thrilled with our new home and can't
objects. Joint coordinates, assignments and displacements may be displayed on screen or in
tabular format. wait to enjoy it for years to come."

IMPORT AND EXPORT

BUILT PROJECT
using CSiBridge

MAC ARTHUR BRIDGE


The Philippines is situated at the Pacific Ring of Fire and is
known for being the focal point of active volcanoes on both land
and water, making it susceptible to earthquakes and tsunamis
that cause threat to infrastructure. One of the most vulnerable
structures are public bridges, specifically the MacArthur Bridge
in Manila. The study focuses on analyzing the seismic
vulnerability of MacArthur Bridge when subjected to 15 local
and international high magnitude earthquakes. The main
objective of the study is to perform a seismic vulnerability
assessment of the MacArthur Bridge in Manila using the fragility
curve based on Pushover Analysis and Capacity-Spectrum
Method. To plot the fragility curve, the structural plan of the
MacArthur Bridge was modelled using the CSiBridge.
