Bridge Design in Croatia

 

 

Bridge design is one of the most complex and fascinating disciplines of civil and structural engineering. The extensive and powerful group of programms offered by SOFiSTiK is available to analyze and design a wast amount of bridge types. Besides the evidently implemented DIN-Fachberichte 101, 102 through 104, many other international codes such as EC, SIA, Ö-Norm, BS, EHE, SNIP, IR or ACI can be selected.
