Allplan@Work: Danube River Bridge at Agigea, Romania





The bridge over the Danube-Black Sea Channel from Agigea - km 0 + 540 - is located at the confluence of the Black Sea and the Channel, near Constanta seaport. The bridge ensures the connection between the Northern and Southern zones of the harbour, now separated by the Danube-Black Sea navigable canal. The structural engineers from Search Corporation SRL are using Allplan Engineering to carry out this special project.
...
The design started with the generation of the digital model of the terrain using the specific functions from Allplan (DTM module). The road and the deck elements were created using the Bridge/Civil Engineering module. The general arrangement drawing files were realised directly from 3D using the Associative Views module. Because of the reinforcement complexity, the reinforcement model had to be checked for every inserted placement of bars. Using the function Collision check and displaying bars with different surface colours, the structural engineers did this more efficiently. Special 3D objects and textures were used for obtaining a realistic presentation.
