"New facilities for
the design of bridges and other structures"
and
LUSAS
Training Workshop
"Soil-Structure Interaction Modelling
with LUSAS"
Gothenburg,
Sweden
27 January 2015
You
are invited to join us on 27 January 2015 at the Elite Plaza Hotel in Gothenburg,
Sweden, for a morning Technical
Seminar and/or an afternoon Training Workshop. A detailed agenda for the
two sessions is shown below.
-
 Come along to learn about facilities
which became available in the most recent release of LUSAS
- Learn about new features which will
become available in Version 15.1.
- Take the opportunity to discuss your general
modelling and analysis issues with other LUSAS users, engineers and experts in a
relaxed, informal environment.
The seminar and workshop sessions are organised and presented
jointly by:
- Mr
Philip Icke, European Regional Manager, LUSAS, UK.
- Mr
Steve Rhodes, Principal Bridge Engineer, LUSAS, UK.

 Easy
to use lift-off supports and RC slab design to the Swedish bridge
code
- A simple model is
used to demonstrate the new lift-off supports facility and
reinforced concrete (RC) slab designer in LUSAS V15.0. Other
useful facilities including the use of multiple analyses and
node renumbering will be demonstrated, along with a discussion
of the design calculations and crack checking which LUSAS
carries out to TRVFS 2011:12

 Cable
tuning analysis for linear structures
- A
cable tuning analysis is used to calculate cable forces for a
footbridge design, meeting user defined profile requirements.
The facilities for providing exact, optimised and "best
fit" solutions for various target criterion are discussed.

Traffic
Load Optimisation for beams.
- Techniques available
for carrying out influence
analysis using the new Direct Method combined with the
traffic load optimisation tool to create Eurocode traffic design
loads
on a line beam model of an arch bridge. Speed improvements
arising from the new algorithm for placing Swedish Complementary vehicles (released in V15.0-2) will be discussed.

 Results viewing, extraction and reporting (present and future)
- Getting results
out of LUSAS: New facilities for retrieving screen layouts,
previously prepared graphs and Print Results Wizard tables.
Reporting with images which automatically update. Transferring
report templates between models. One-click member reports.
Customised post-processing calculations (User Defined Results).
Improvements to display for envelopes. Deflection (camber)
tables for staged construction analyses...

Overview of features available for soil-structure interaction
modelling
-
Idealisation
options for soil from continuum to spring models and modelling
of the soil/structure interface. Tips on selecting appropriate
options and creating soil-structure interaction models in the
context of retaining walls, integral bridges and other
structures. Use of facilities including staged construction
functions, multiple analyses and the trilinear earth pressure
joint.

 Hands-on
example: Anchored retaining wall using trilinear earth pressure
joints (2D)
- Construction
of a 2D slice model of an anchored retaining wall, obtaining
forces and moments arising from lateral earth pressures by way
of the new (v15.0) trilinear earth pressure joint.

 Hands-on
example: Hands-on example: Integral bridge on piles using spring
supports (3D)
- Construction of a
3D model of a single span integral bridge featuring bankseat
abutments on piles. The model is constructed of shell and beam
elements and uses spring supports and K* pressures along with
temperature loads.

 Hands-on
example: Cut and cover tunnel using continuum elements (2D)
- Staged
construction modelling of a cut and cover tunnel using 2D
continuum, beam and bar elements together. Development of a
materially nonlinear analysis using the Mohr-Coulomb soil
material model, from a preceding elastic analysis, with
comparison of key results.
