Concrete case studies

The Arch Railway Bridge
Jetetice | Czech Republic
The reinforced concrete arch railway bridge was designed to cross over the Orlik water dam on the Vltava River. This recent project of SUDOP PRAHA is remarkable not only for the complexity of construction typical of these kinds of bridges but also because its span of 156 m makes it the longest of its kind in the Czech Republic. The elegant structure will, thus, become an iconic feature for the entire valley.

Designing a structure of this large scale entailed several typical challenges. These were solved by multiple tools, and IDEA StatiCa BIM and IDEA StatiCa RCS also played a significant role.
Prestressed highway concrete bridge
Prague | Czech Republic
A new 12.2km long section of the motorway is being constructed on the outskirts of Prague that will connect the D0 ring road (one of the most significant transport structures in the Czech Republic) with the D10 and D11 motorways, as well as many other major roads connecting the capital to its surrounding areas.
A bridge was required at the second-most-important crossroads of this section of the ring road. Therefore, the expertise of Structural Engineer Jan Lamparsky of AFRY CZ was enlisted to ensure it would be delivered successfully.
Reinforced concrete structure of a multifunctional building
Brno | Czech Republic
A new multifunctional building with twelve above-ground and three underground floors is being constructed in the city of Brno, Czech Republic. Engineers from STATIKON Solutions s.r.o. have taken on several challenges with this project and agreed to share some exciting details about it.
Prestressed concrete roof, Zbysov, Czech Republic
Zbysov | Czech Republic
Companies Trenon and Bestr carried out an interesting construction project in Zbysov, a small town not far from Brno, Czech Republic. They have designed a prestressed waffle slab structure into the false formwork of polystyrene blocks.
Curved shear wall design
United Kingdom
In this article, we are presenting a case study of IDEA StatiCa RCS through a real project from one of our customers, which although relatively small-scaled, presents the designer with several challenges that make the calculation of internal forces complex, with the biggest one being the curved concrete walls.
Retrofit of a reinforced concrete arch bridge, Czech Republic
Krinec | Czech Republic
This study showcases an analysis of an old reinforced concrete road bridge which consists of two concrete arches and suspended concrete bottom deck. It spans over the Mrlina river in Krinec, Czech Republic.
