A paradigm shift in bridge design
Save time and engineering costs by using parametric designs for bridges
Bridge projects in less than a week
For 30 years, Anta has been planning and constructing high technical and aesthetical value bridges and footbridges which are well integrated into the environment.
Prototype parametrization to save project time
Thanks to parametrisation and systematisation, you will be able to get a project, reports and advises with no cost overrun or digression, yet the certainty of obtaining high quality and aesthetic standards.
Landscape, Simplicity and Structural Shape
The design of our prototypes is based on three basic principles: integration in the landscape, continuous search for simplicity, and use of unique shapes that emanate from structural behavior
Prototypes
The development of the Von Mises prototypes represents the organization of a particular design philosophy that can now be systematically applied by other professionals.
Adaptive geometries
Spans from 20 meters up to 75 meters.
Useful widths of footbridges range from 2 to 5 meters.
Useful widths of road bridges range from 4 to 15 meters.
Terrain morphology on a slope or a vertical wall on both riverbanks.
Different landing height on each bank.
3 definition levels
Documentation adapted to each design phase.
Basic sketch, conceptual design and preliminary design.
Delivery terms less than one week.
"It is necessary to understand the resistant phenomenon to create a structural shape that synthesizes all the functional needs with the minimum number of resources.”
Mario Guisasola
Carbon footprint reduction
Heuristic optimization allows to reduce the carbon footprint of Von Mises bridges. Optimization is inspired by artificial intelligence strategies. The weight of the steel of the footbridges and the CO2 emissions associated with their construction are the objective functions of the heuristic optimization that has made it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of the prototypes.
