New Zealand Transport Agency Bridge Manual Update

The New Zealand code option has been updated to NZTA Bridge Manual 3rd Edition, Amendment 4.

All the New Zealand features in Structural Bridge Design have been moved under the Australian Standards design code option. This integration allows for a structure to have a NZ carriageway with NZ traffic loading, and the design of the sections and beams completed using the Australian Standards design code specification.

The load combination groups, envelopes and load optimization have been updated to align with NZTA Bridge Manual 3rd Edition, Amendment 4.

The TT530 Fatigue load has been added.
