Title:	Cover Picture: Steel Construction 4/2021
Abstract:	Steel and composite bridges offer economic advantages, even for short and medium spans. To simplify and speed up the design process, ArcelorMittal now offers Advance Bridge Expert, a free preliminary design software that includes complex geometries and innovative solutions. The software is suitable for the pre-dimensioning of curved and/or skewed composite road, railway and pedestrian bridges according to the Eurocodes and several National Annexes. It supports the predesign of steel composite bridges, filler beam bridges and PreCoBeam/composite dowel strips using the hot-rolled section and modern steel grades libraries of ArcelorMittal up to S460, including HISTAR® grades and weathering steel (Arcorox®) according to EN 10025-5:2019.
