File size: 189 MBLimitState:RING Industry Leading Masonry Arch Bridge Analysis Software.Trusted by major consulting engineers, bridge owners and universities across the world, LimitState:RING is the industry-leading software application for rapid masonry arch analysis.
Understand MoreInteractively answer 'what if' questions to gain a clearer understanding of the influence of key parameters and see visualizations of modes of response - many of which are missed by conventional masonry arch bridge analysis tools.
A Wide Range Of Bridge Analysis ApplicationsSingle-span bridgesUse LimitState:RING for a quick and easy single-span highway or railway arch bridge analysis. Problems can contain stone voussoir or brickwork arch barrels, either bonded and multi-ring. A range of predefined and user-defined arch profiles are available.
Multi-span bridgesWith LimitState:RING the critical mode of response is identified automatically, whether this involves one, two or more adjacent bridge spans. Unlike other masonry arch software, there is no need to manually balance thrusts at pierheads.
Railway bridgesLimitState:RING was developed in association with the International Union of Railways (UIC) and ships with a database of rail vehicles. Axle loads are distributed through track / sleepers in accordance with industry practice.
Damaged structuresWith LimitState:RING you can incorporate bridge-specific details into your arch bridge analysis, including defects such as localized mortar loss and zones with differing material properties.
Multi-ring archesRing separation in a multi-ring masonry arch barrel adversely affects bridge load carrying capacity. LimitState:RING can model the effects of full or partial ring separation, and the associated combined sliding / hinging modes of response.
Bridge diagnosticsLimitState:RING includes the ability to impose support movements. This provides a powerful diagnostic tool for investigating the causes of observed cracks and also for investigating the behavior of masonry arch bridges under service loads.
Reinforced masonry archesLimitState:RING allows masonry arch bridges incorporating reinforcement to be modelled. Moment, shear and normal force diagrams can be displayed to help users interpret the response of reinforced masonry arch bridges.
Software BenefitsFastEasy to use interface enables a bridge model with vehicle loading to be created in minutes, with analysis results typically available in seconds.
PowerfulRigorous optimization is used to find the critical mode of response and margin of safety, whether single-span arch or complex multi-ring, multi-span viaduct.
TrustedDeveloped by acknowledged experts in the field and validated against laboratory and field bridge tests.
