PGSuper is powerful software for design, analysis, and load rating of precast-prestressed girder bridges. This easy-to-use software models simple and continuous span structures and designs in accordance with the latest and earlier 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. |
