ADAPT-ABI/BRIDGE DESIGN Spec Sheet

Product Overview
ADAPT-ABI Version 4.xx is a special-purpose program developed for the design and analysis of prestressed concrete bridges built either segmentally or conventionally. It provides information for geometry and stress control during construction, as well as design values for service load. ADAPT-ABI has been serving bridge design engineers worldwide for over fifteen years, and has provided the foundation for analysis of many notable bridges.

ADAPT-ABI capabilities can be enhanced with the following modules:

• ADAPT-Gen
• ADAPT-Moving Load
• ADAPT-Elongation

Complete analysis of the construction phase and in-service performance, including safety checks for:

• Balanced cantilever bridges (Cast-in-place or Precast)
• Incrementally launched bridges
• Span-by-span bridges
• Cable-stayed bridges
• Precast-prestressed girder bridges with field splicing and topping slab
• Box girder bridges
• Bridge rehabilitation with external post-tensioning
• Full analysis, from casting date to 30 years and longer in-service, including moving load generation, code combinations, enveloping, construction loads, creep, shrinkage, relaxation of the prestressing steel, aging of the concrete, and temperature effects
