What is Grillage Modelling?
The grillage model is a common form of analysis model for composite bridge decks. Its key features are: It is a 2D model. Structural behaviour is linear elastic. Beam members are laid out in a grid pattern in single plane, rigidly connected at nodes.
What is Autodesk structural bridge design?
Autodesk Structural Bridge Design is a full suite of design section, design beam, and structural analysis modules, all integrated into one product. This provides an extremely powerful tool for the analysis and design of bridge structures using line beam, grillage, frame analysis, and finite element techniques.
What software is used to design bridges?

Which foundation is used as Grillage model?
A foundation which consists of one, two or more tiers of beams (typically steel) superimposed on a layer of concrete to disperse load over an extensive area is grillage foundation . It is used at the base of columns. These tiers are encased in concrete and are at right angles to each other.
What is Lusas software?
LUSAS Civil & Structural is a world-leading finite element analysis software application for the analysis, design and assessment of all types of structures.
Is Grillage foundation economical?
Grillage foundation is the most economical foundation in case of transferring heavy loads from columns to soil of low bearing capacity. A type of foundation often used at the base of a column.
Is Grillage a code for foundation?
IS 456-2000 code
The members like beams, columns, grid slab, footing and slab are manually designed using IS 456-2000 code book. Keywords- grillage foundation, vertical bearing capacity, grid structure, Offshore loadings.
What are grillage beams used for?
This foundation includes several layers of beams usually laid at right angles to each other and used to spread heavy loads to an allowable ground bearing pressure from the superstructure. Steel, precast concrete, or timber are the most common in grillage beams.
What is grillage foundation and its types?
Where foundation transfers load from the structure to the ground, grillage disperses heavy loads over large areas. According to the materials used in construction, Grillage foundation is of two types: Steel Grillage foundation consists of steel joints or beams which are provided in single or double tiers.
How are the grillage beams of each tier held in position?
The grillage beams of each tier are held in position by 25 mm-diameter pipe separators and 20 mm spacer bars. The beams are spaced appropriately to allow the placement and compacting of concrete between them.
Why do we calculate the base area of a grillage foundation?
It is required to calculate the loads and moments from the superstructure for the design of the grillage foundation, and for a suitable allowable ground bearing pressure of the condition, we have to determine the required base area.
