HOLLOW SECTIONS USE CASE

Challenge

The project entails the design of a pedestrian bridge spanning 50 meters over a river, necessitating the use of welded hollow section joints in lattice structures. Structural considerations mandate that the bridge withstand pedestrian traffic loads, environmental factors such as wind and seismic activity, while adhering strictly to local building codes and safety regulations. Engineers are directed to utilize steel hollow sections due to their favorable strength-to-weight ratio and durability, ensuring the longevity and cost-effectiveness of the structure.

Solution

Engineers employ Prokon Hollow Sections Software to model the bridge’s lattice structure, specifying circular hollow sections for connecting members and I-sections for main chords. Various joint configurations, including K, X and T joints, are implemented using the software. Detailed design capabilities within the software encompass different loading conditions.

Results

The utilisation of Prokon Hollow Sections Software facilitates the achievement of an optimized design, balancing structural efficiency with material usage to minimize costs while meeting safety requirements. Through detailed analysis and precise calculations, potential failure points are identified and addressed, resulting in a bridge design that ensures safety and reliability for pedestrians. The software’s intuitive interface and comprehensive features streamline the design process, reducing time and effort required for analysis and enabling engineers to deliver the project within schedule and budget constraints.
