Exclusive : PGSuper

PGSuper2.2.3

PGSuper is a powerful open source software for design and analysis of
precast-prestressed girder bridges. This easy-to-use software models
simple and continuous span structures and designs in accordance with
the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. With its advanced Bridge
Information Modeling (BrIM) capabilities, your focus is always on
modeling, designing, and analyzing real bridges.

PGSuper analyzes and designs precast girders for all critical stages:
casting, lifting, hauling, erection, service, and ultimate conditions.
The automated designer determines the prestressing, concrete strength,
lifting, transportation, and slab haunch requirements.

PGSuper has the most extensive and detailed reports available. Every
detail of every calculation can be reviewed. You'll never have to guess
what the software is doing.
