A bridge analysis and drawings with a span of 30 meters are requested. Is the program suitable for steel bridge analysis?.
 
Hello there; You will design an overpass that can be made for the use of pedestrians. Previously, different users have designed an overpass with trusses. However, if you mean a structure for the use of vehicles connected to the road or railway, it is not possible because you will need to use regulations such as AASHTO as both the loadings and design criteria will be different. As I said, overpass, you can design using AISC 360-10 ASD or LRFD regulations. Good work.
 
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a valid and logical information from the ones I thought there was, but there is not a lot of information on the subject where I live. The limited number of thesis studies I looked at were also very superficial, especially the loading issue was skipped. I guess the loading is done according to the truck classes selected based on the number of vehicles passing per hour. In the sources I looked at, only one truck was used. When we look logically, shouldn't the bridge be considered as fully loaded? Or shouldn't there be a distributed load acting in motion? I am waiting for your suggestions on the subject, especially in terms of source publications.
