EBL automates three views per bridge project. Pick the one you need or get the full package.

All measurements: feet, decimal, US imperial only — no metric.

View 1 — General Plan

Plan view

The General Plan is the plan-view drawing of the bridge — looking straight down at the deck, approach slabs, wing walls, and abutments. It captures the footprint of the structure: overall length and width, support skew, and the geometry of the wings and abutment notches.

Inputs collected

Plan

Total Length
Deck Width
Support Skew

Approach slab

Slab Length

Wing wall

Thickness (W)
Length (L) from abutment back face
Inwing to Deck

Abutment

Notch Length (ft)
Width (W, ft)
Corner Notch (ft)

What you receive

Plan.txt — A .txt script with the View 1 geometric line work, ready to load into AutoCAD or MicroStation.
Delivered by end of next business day.
Compatible with AutoCAD and MicroStation.

View 2 — Deck Plan

Deck cross section

The Deck Plan is the cross-sectional view of the bridge deck — cut perpendicular to the bridge centerline. It shows the deck slab thickness, haunch, beam spacing and overhangs, and the cross slope on either side of the centerline.

Inputs collected

Deck geometry

Width (between outside edges)
Thickness
Haunch at CL of bearings

Cross slope

Left of CL (negative if CCW)
Right of CL (negative if CW)

Beam layout

Number of Beam Spaces
Clear Deck Overhang
Width of Beam Top Flange
Deck Exterior Flange Cover

What you receive

Deck.txt — A .txt script with the View 2 geometric line work, ready to load into AutoCAD or MicroStation.
Delivered by end of next business day.
Compatible with AutoCAD and MicroStation.

View 3 — Bridge Elevation

Side elevation

The Bridge Elevation is the side view of the bridge — showing the abutments, piers, approach slabs, and the span geometry between supports. It captures the vertical dimensions: girder depth, cap dimensions, bearing seats, and how the spans add up across the length of the bridge.

Inputs collected

Abutment

Front Face to CL of Bearing
Cap Width
Depth Below Bearing Seat
Depth Bearing Seat to Top of Slab
Girder Depth

Approach slab

Slab Length
Notch Length
Notch Depth

Pier

Front Face to CL of Bearing
Cap Horizontal Width
Cap Vertical Depth

Geometry

Skew (absolute degrees)
Beam Extension Length

Spans

Dynamic span list (minimum 1, no maximum)

What you receive

Elevation.txt — A .txt script with the View 3 geometric line work, ready to load into AutoCAD or MicroStation.
Delivered by end of next business day.
Compatible with AutoCAD and MicroStation.
