Quality Processes for Bridge Analysis Models
The design of bridges often involves the use of structural analysis models of varying
degrees of complexity. A variety of analysis methods and software can be used to create
and analyze these models, and the process can be quite complex, with significant amounts of
input and output data. Quality assurance and quality control are two essential processes.
