Precast/Prestressed Girder Help

Analysis

  • Analyze self-weight and dead loads assumed to act on the precast section being designed using simple beam analysis.
  • Analyze dead loads on composite sections using continuous analysis.
  • Option to distribute dead load equally to all beams or based on tributary fraction.
  • Perform automatic moving load analysis on simple-span or continuous multi-span bridges.
  • Select specific limit states for analysis and design (SLS I, ULS 1 or FLS 1).
  • Display and print moment, shear, and stress diagrams for either specific load cases and/or load combinations.
  • Dead and live load reactions.
  • Rotations due to dead and live loads.
  • Easily customize variables that are automatically calculated by the program, such as live load and dead load distribution factors and dynamic load allowance impact/factors.
