Historical Norwegian truss bridge retrofit, an IDEA StatiCa case study with Aas-Jakobsen

Original article at IDEA StatiCa’s website >

Aas-Jakobsen's restoration of the 1933 Nisja truss bridge in Sunndal kommune, Møre og Romsdal in Norway required a masterful blend of heritage conservation and modern structural engineering.

The project, spearheaded by Structural Consultant Engineer, Herman Hagen Horvei, was tasked with restoring this historical landmark to meet contemporary structural safety standards.

The selection of IDEA StatiCa was a strategic decision, influenced by its precision in connection calculations, the efficiency of its workflows, and its ability to mitigate risks in complex structural assessments.

IDEA StatiCa was invaluable in this project, enabling efficient design optimizations that led to material and time savings.

Its comprehensive analysis capabilities, coupled with enhanced visualization and reporting tools, facilitated a more thorough and accurate understanding of the bridge’s structure, crucial for this large-scale retrofitting project…

IDEA StatiCa’s precision in analyzing complex joint structures was a game-changer for us.
