New UK Bridge Assessment Code

[michael.laingUPRPA]

Hello,

The UK has recently updated it's Bridge Assessment Code from BD21/01 to CS 454 Assessment of Highway Bridges and Structures.

This new code has new assessment vehicles.

Have these been added or will they be added as an option to the Road Traffic Load Optimisation menu?

Thank you.

Hi Michael

All I can say is not in the upcoming 2020 release.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks

Hello @simon_hooper ,

Has there been any progress on this?

In the interim, the assessment codes for Concrete, Steel and Composite in the DMRB have also be replaced, as has BD86.

They can be found here:

Are there plan to include these in SBD soon?

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael

There are plans.  I can't comment in detail or on specifics at this stage, but we are looking at the update.

Thanks

Simon
