Bridge construction

Structural Engineering and Design for Bridges

In the field of bridge engineering, I develop structural concepts and preliminiary designs for integral bridges, arch bridges and comparable civil engineering structures. The focus is on clearly defined structural behavior, a sound structural configuration, and solutions that are technically feasible and economically viable. Each assigment is tailored to the specific requirements, boundary conditions and scale of the respective structure. My services include the development of structural concepts, design option studies, preliminary structural calculations and structural detailling. In doing so, I combine technical expertise with a personal, direct and project-specific approuach. I support clients and partner engineering firms with bridge projects in Austria and internationally, from the initial concept through to the structural design and develoments.

Areas of Expertise

– structural concepts for bridge structures – prelimiary designs and design option studies – preliminary structural calculations – integral bridges and arch bridges – concrete and reinforced concrete structures – assessment of structural behavior and structural configuration – technical support for clients and partner engineering firms – project-specific collaboration in Austria and internationally

Preliminary Design of an integral Bridge

The following example illustrates the development and structural design of an integral bridge as part of a detailed preliminary design. The drawings provide an insight into the geometric concept, the structural configuration and the underlying structural engineering considerations.
