Deck Section Types

Girder Libraries

CSiBridge Express incorporates girder libraries compliant with AASHTO, Caltrans, and WSDOT standards, utilized for defining deck sections.The differences between the AASHTO, Caltrans, and WSDOT girder libraries primarily lie in their specific design standards, regional considerations, and structural requirements.

  • AASHTO standard sections
  • Caltrans specifications
  • WSDOT design standards
