You can design using one code, and simply toggle to the other code for quick and complete design comparisons. Simple-span static analysis is performed for dead loads resisted by the precast sections. Continuous static analysis is performed for dead loads acting upon the composite structure. A continuous moving load analysis is performed for the live load.
Debonding constraints limiting the number of debonded strands can also be user-specified.
Service load stress envelopes, generated by combining the results of the analysis, are checked against allowable limits. Factored positive moments and shears are checked against the ultimate strength capacity of the effective section. Mild reinforcement in the deck, at the piers, is computed for factored negative and positive moments. Many other code criteria such as cracking moments, horizontal shear, stresses at limit states, etc. are also automatically checked. Analysis results and graphical sketches can be exported to spreadsheets and DXF Formats.
