Transportation departments release bridge design and analysis softwareOLYMPIA, WASH. — Developed by the bridge design offices of the Washington and Texas Departments of Transportation for the Alternate Route Project, PGSuper is a precast-prestressed girder design and analysis software used to design, check, and load rate precast-prestressed girder bridges in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification, WSDOT criteria, or TxDOT criteria. The flexural design feature computes the number and configuration of prestressing strands and the minimum required concrete release strength. The shear design feature determines the number, size, and spacing of transverse reinforcement for vertical shear, horizontal shear, bursting, and strand confinement. Specification checking evaluates girders for compliance with strength, service, and detailing criteria. Girders are evaluated for stresses and stability during handling and transportation. Temporary prestressing to control camber, improve stability, and reduce concrete release strengths may also be input. The capabilities and constraints of local fabricators have been accounted for in this software product. PGSuper has been designed to allow for future expansion and updating as design criteria and user expectations change. Free online PGSuper training and P2P e-mail support is available at PGSuper.com. |
