Introduction

Welcome to CIP RC/PT Girder, a fully integrated AASHTO LRFD and LFD (Standard) bridge superstructure analysis, design and rating software for cast-in-place (CIP) post-tensioned or reinforced concrete box girder or slab bridges built on falsework. You are joining a select group of professional engineers who use CIP RC/PT Girder to perform efficient and accurate designs everyday. Even if you are new to computer-aided design software, you will find CIP RC/PT Girder easy to use. If you are an expert, you will appreciate the fully integrated features that make CIP RC/PT Girder a very powerful design tool.

CIP RC/PT Girder is a fully integrated AASHTO Standard (LFD) and LRFD software program used for analyzing and designing cast-in-place concrete post-tensioned and/or reinforced box girder and slab bridges built on falsework. This program features substructure modeling capabilities and automated design features that make it suitable for the production design of box girder bridges utilizing longitudinal post-tensioning using either the CEB-FIP, AASHTO LRFD, or ACI-209 model codes for concrete creep, shrinkage, and steel relaxation effects.

This product is specific to post-tensioned box/I girder and slab bridges, and may have a monolithic connection at the bent. Span hinges and a variety of column shapes and fixity conditions can also be accommodated.
