WBFL™ Overview
The Washington Bridge Foundation Libraries™ (WBFL) provide the foundation upon which WSDOT is building its next generation bridge engineering software tools. The WBFL consists of programmable software components that can be used in spreadsheets and MathCAD documents that you write as well as C++ libraries for those of you write bridge engineering applications. This software has been developed for the Alternate Route Project.

The WBFL™ is licensed under the terms and conditions of the Alternate Route Library Open Source License. Under certain circumstances you can develop propriety software that uses WBFL components. Review the license carefully for details.
