Modeling Sidewalks and Barriers in PGSuper
Duration:Approx 15 minNew!!
PGSuper has powerful features for modeling complex sidewalk and railing configurations. This tutorial describes how to model a combination sidewalk/railing systems in PGSuper.

Modeling Inverted Tee Bent Caps
Duration:Approx 10 minMany state DOT's make use of the Inverted Tee Bent Cap system in simple span precast-prestressed concrete girder bridges. PGSuper does not model any specific substructure system, but instead provides a flexible geometric description to accommodate inverted tee bent caps and virtually every other substructure system. This tutorial explores how to define the connection geometry for an inverted tee pier cap.

Beginning Tutorial 1 - General Overview of PGSuper
Duration:Approx 30 minPGSuper is designed for ease of use, but it also has many unique and powerful features. This interactive tutorial provides an overview of PGSuper's basic features to get you up and running in no time. Starting from a real bridge, we will show you how to use PGSuper to design and analyze an exterior girder, and during the process, show off some really cool stuff!

Advanced Geometrics - Part 3
Duration:Approx 15 minPGSuper's geometric features allow you to model highly complex superstructure gometries. In part 3, we create an adjacent box girder bridge that uses different width exterior and interior girders.
-
Advanced Geometrics - Part 2
Duration:Approx 15 minPGSuper's geometric features allow you to model highly complex superstructure gometries. In part 2, we model a three span interchange ramp bridge. The bridge is located in a transition between a straight portion of the alignment and a curved portion. The deck width tapers to accommodate the geometry of the site and the roadway. The seven W42G girders are uniquely framed in every span.

Advanced Geometrics - Part 1
Duration:Approx 15 minPGSuper's geometric features allow you to model highly complex superstructure gometries. In part 1, we will model a three-span tapered bridge on a simple horizontal curve.

Admin Tutorial 2 - Working with Project Libraries
Duration:Approx 20 minIn this interactive tutorial, we define Project Libraries, illustrate the process for creating and using project library entries, and show how to share them between project files. As an example, we will create a special traffic barrier in the project library, use the barrier in a bridge model, and import it into another PGSuper project.

Admin Tutorial 1 - Working with Project Templates
Duration:Approx 30 minIn this interative tutorial, we describe Template files in PGSuper and show how to customize your PGSuper installation using templates.
