Creating New Girder Library Entries
Learn how to add new girder shapes to the PGSuper Library. In this narrated tutorial, Richard Pickings describes how to create a new girder library entry and input girder geometry and prestressing information. The section type created is a CalTrans Wide Flange girder which is based on
Modeling Touch Shoring with PGSuper
This tutorial demonstrates how to model a touch shoring construction scenario with PGSuper. Touch shoring is used to support precast girders during deck placement to reduce the final stresses in the composite deck and girder system.
Modeling Lightweight Concrete with PGSuper
Enhancements made in PGSuper Version 2.4 include support for modeling lightweight concrete. Engineers can now define both the girder and deck concrete as normal weight, sand lightweight, or all lightweight concrete. This tutorial describes how to model lightweight concrete material
Modeling Inverted Tee Bent Caps
Many 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
LRFR Load Rating with PGSuper
PGSuper can perform the load rating analysis of the bridge superstructure in accordance with Section 6, Part A of the AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation, also referred to as LRFR ratings. This tutorial describes how to perform a load rating analysis in PGSuper.
Substructure Design Using PGSuper Professional and VBent
BridgeSight Inc has joined forces with our friends at Viathor to provide PGSuper Professional and VBent customers a powerful new way to integrate superstructure and substructure design. The BridgeSight VBent Exporter extracts information from a PGSuper model and prepares it for import into VBent
