True 3D Modeling - ET
Pier features powerful parametric modeling capabilities to help
you generate true 3D models of your structures fast and
efficiently.
Following in the
footsteps of PSBeam, our widely used precast/prestressed bridge
girder design software, will be ET Pier Designer. What PSBeam
has done for flexibility, ease of design, and design efficiency
of bridge superstructures, we believe ET Pier will do for bridge
substructures.
The general scope of ET
Pier is to analyze and design the majority of bridge
substructures. Basic types it can handle include wall piers,
hammerhead piers, and multi-column bents. Cap beams can be
prismatic or tapered. Columns can be circular or rectangular.
Foundation types include pile, drilled shaft, and spread and
pile footings. Download

ET Pier will set a new high
water mark for bridge pier and abutment analysis and design.

V3:
Next
Generation Prestressed Girder Design |
With its flexibility, high performance, and
rock-solid reliability, PSBeam has earned the respect of many bridge
engineers throughout the country. Version 3 delivers a host of new
capabilities to enhance your design process. And support for integrated
design will help you in your transition toward a fully integrated design
office.
- LRFD 4th Edition –
PSBeam is up to date with the 4th edition of the LRFD
Specifications, including the 2008 Interim revisions.
Included are the new prestress loss provisions that better model prestress loss
prediction for high-strength concrete as well as several other important
updates.
- Load Rating – Produce both
operating and inventory load ratings for your designs. PSBeam's flexible
and powerful vehicle modeling capabilities allow you to load rate for any
type of vehicle.
- Post-Tensioning – PT is
finally now in the realm of the typical design office. By segmenting your
girders into multiple pieces and incorporating post-tensioning tendons,
you extend your spans to 200 feet and beyond.
- 3D Visualization - OpenGL Graphics provides
stunning 3D graphics to give physical meaning to your designs.
- Section Property Generation – Rapid section
generation and parametric capabilities have been added, as well as new
library management features.
- Load Tables – Great for preliminary design,
this feature quickly generates graphs of span vs. number of strands for
specified beam spacings.
- Data Grids – Now edit and navigate through
large amounts of data quickly and easily.
- Library Features – Now access section
libraries from any location. Import, view, and delete features facilitate
smooth maintenance.
- Integrated Design - As with our new ET
Pier™
software, PSBeam includes support to enable it to integrate
seamlessly with ParaBridge™, our new 3D bridge modeling
studio software. Watch for upcoming announcements about this exciting new
product.

Parametric technology gives you the ability
to generate a completely new section in seconds. Let PSBeam
do the work: let it generate the boundary coordinates,
compute section properties, and initialize a strand
template. |

Load tables help
you rapidly determine the best section type, section depth,
and girder spacing for a particular bridge site. Every graph
point is a complete PSBeam design. |
