Abstract
AbstractSteel and composite bridges offer economic advantages, even for short and medium spans. To simplify and speed up the design process, ArcelorMittal now offers Advance Bridge Expert, a free preliminary design software that includes complex geometries and innovative solutions. The software is suitable for the pre‐dimensioning of curved and/or skewed composite road, railway and pedestrian bridges according to the Eurocodes and several National Annexes. It supports the predesign of steel composite bridges, filler beam bridges and PreCoBeam/composite dowel strips using the hot‐rolled section and modern steel grades libraries of ArcelorMittal up to S460, including HISTAR® grades and weathering steel (Arcorox®) according to EN 10025‐5:2019.The free version of Advance Bridge Expert can be downloaded from the following website: https://sections.arcelormittal.com/design_aid/design_software/EN (© ArcelorMittal)(Photo: Wirkowice composite bridge in Poland: Europe's first road bridge in Arcorox 460® weathering steel. © MOSTY ZAMOŚĆ Tomasz Czyż)
