This paper explores an efficient approach to analyzing and designing bridges, with a focus on prestressed concrete components, using numerical modeling tools. The study utilizes CSiBridge, a finite element-based solution designed for modeling, analyzing, and designing bridge structures. CSiBridge streamlines the handling of complex bridge configurations, parameter variations, diverse load scenarios, and boundary conditions through accessible commands within the modeling tool. The analysis incorporates factors such as dead loads, superimposed dead loads, prestress forces, and live loads from vehicular traffic. The results demonstrate CSiBridge's exceptional ability to automate intricate design procedures. Specifically, the study reveals that flexural design is primarily governed by moment reactions from dead loads, while the shear design of girders is notably influenced by shear reactions from live vehicular loads. An essential parameter for stability and strength is the cable profile, with its positioning significantly impacting the bridge structure. The paper emphasizes the effective positioning of the cable profile in prestress girders using CSiBridge software. This approach contributes to a more efficient and streamlined process for analyzing and designing bridges, particularly those involving prestressed concrete components, addressing the challenges of the contemporary industrial landscape.
