    New Zealand Assessment (What's New in 2024)

    Evaluation of existing bridges has been added according to Section 7.0 of the NZTA Bridge Manual 3rd Edition, Amendment 4.

    The bridge evaluation loads (HPMV, general access, 50MAX and axle groups) and associated compilations can now be defined. Load automation calculates the optimum highway loading patterns for assessing an existing bridge.
