Capabilities

A wide variety of bridge configurations can be modeled. Here is a short list of the modeling capabilities:

Complex alignments including horizontal curves with transition spirals, vertical curves, and superelevation transitions.
Modeling of spliced girder bridges with variable depth cantilever pier segments, drop-in field segments supported by strongback hangers, temporary erection towers, and multi-stage post-tensioning
Multiple span bridges with simple, integral, and continuous boundary conditions
Physical models of interior piers
Complex framing plans including flared (non-parallel) girders and different number and type of girder in each span
Sidewalks and pedestrian live loads
User defined vehicles
Non-linear time-step analysis using time-dependent material models from AASHTO LRFD, ACI 209, and CEB-FIP.
