Routes, highways and bridges

1. J by joselaks on 21 Dec 2020, edited 14 Jul 2021 #

   What open source tools do you recommend for designing routes, highways and bridges?

   Qgis for retrieving open data, gis data. For designing i think the foss section is still a bit limited.

   I'm not aware of any right now unfortunately :(

   PGSuper from Washington State DOT is a leading program for designing precast pretension concrete girder bridges. PGSplice is great for precast post-tensioned spliced concrete girder bridges. Both are part of the BridgeLink suite of bridge engineering tools. Download load Windows installer from https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/eesc/bridge/software. Source code is available at GitHub.com\wsdot.

   This should be included in the Software Directory

   Thanks for sharing @Rick_Brice ! Would you be able to help add them to the wiki directory? There are a few categories which may be relevant, as I see there are quite a few repositories under that Github account:

   • https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=AEC_Free_Software_directory

   • https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Free_software_libraries_for_AEC_software_development

   • https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Free_software_extensions_to_proprietary_software

   I also think this might be a great presentation for one of our monthly meetups! What do you think @Jesusbill ?

   @Moult It could be interesting, I see a bunch of tools in the link attached by @Rick_Brice .

   Looks quite tailored to structural engineers.

   It would definitely worth having a word with one of the developers.

   @Rick_Brice could we have a call someday regarding a potential presentation in one of our upcoming meetups?

    @Jesusbill and @Moult - I posted the specific github repositories in the free software directory and development libraries.

    I'd be up for a call. I'm in Pacific time zone (-7 UTC). Probably something in my afternoon and your morning?

11. J by Jesusbill on 14 Jul 2021 #

    Great @Rick_Brice, my time zone is +2 UTC so I think it would be more convenient to do your morning my evening.

    What about Tuesday or Wednesday next week, for example at 9 a.m. local time for you? Or else feel free to propose when you prefer.

12. R by Rick_Brice on 14 Jul 2021 #

    @Jesusbill next week mornings aren't good for me. July 15 or 16 is good (tomorrow or Friday), 9am local time for me.

13. J by Jesusbill on 14 Jul 2021 #

    Ok for tomorrow @Rick_Brice . Just to be sure 9 am local time for you was about the time you wrote your last message right? 1 hour and 40 minutes ago?

    Let's use jit.si, an open-source platform for the call. We can meet at this link: https://meet.jit.si/openbim

    Thanks

    @Jesusbill - yes that's when I last posted. Confirmed for 9am tomorrow.
