Abstract

The paper describes the development of BRIDEX, the BRIdge Design EXpert system, for design of prestressed concrete bridges. Design of multi-span continuous prestressed concrete bridges poses considerable difficulties because of the large number of design parameters, the number of design constraints imposed by the medium and codes of practice, and complex interactions between these parameters and constraints. The design is usually carried out as an iterative process of generation, evaluation and modification of trial designs. The dearth of design principles necessitates years of experience from designers before they are able to successfully carry out bridge designs. BRIDEX is aimed at developing an understanding of the design process and guiding the designer by suggesting appropriate ranges of values for the design parameters.
