I found a web site called The Bridge Site that has a bunch of civil engineering-type software products. There are hundreds, but here are two examples:

- ACES- more of a technical civil engineering program than West Point, allows traffic loading and calculates section properties. You can download a free demo.

-LISA- Free download or $50 version; a little complex (will model fluid dynamics and such), but can import AutoCAD drawings.
