LARSA 4D Training Manuals & Tutorials for Bridges


Introductory Training Manual for Steel Bridge Projects

This introductory tutorial manual provides an overview for using LARSA 4D for the analysis of a three-span continuous straight composite steel I-girder bridge. The example bridge in this guide consists of an I-shape cross-section with three spans of 100 feet each. The topics discussed in this tutorial include live load analysis and staged construction analysis.


Advanced Training Manual for Bridge Projects

The advanced training manual for bridge projects is a step-by-step tutorial using a curved bridge example, with a girder modeled as a beam element and a deck modeled with plate elements. It additionally covers live load analysis using influence surfaces.


Seismic and Dynamic Analysis of Bridges

This manual covers the seismic and dynamic analysis of a bridge model in LARSA 4D using eigenvalue analysis, response spectrum analysis, and nonlinear inelastic pushover analysis.


Steel Bridge Module Manual

The Steel Bridge Module provides tools for creating models of I, box, and tub girder steel bridges and for performing AASHTO LRFD 7/8 code check and load rating.


General Introductory Training Manual
