FBLRFD - LRFD FLOORBEAM ANALYSIS AND RATING

Purpose:

To analyze and rate a steel floorbeam of a two-girder system highway bridge in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Design Manual Part 4 using either metric (SI) or US customary units. The program can perform an analysis of (1) a simple span with or without applied moments at the ends and with no overhangs, (2) a floorbeam with cantilever overhangs continuous over the supports, and (3) a simple span with or without applied moments at the ends and with fixed end cantilevers at one or both ends of the span. The cross section can consist of a wide flange beam with or without cover plate, a plate girder section, or a built-up section and it can be composite or non-composite.

Input:

Span lengths, bridge and floorbeam cross section data, material properties, dead loads, standard live loads, pedestrian live load, special live loads, section losses, fatigue details, and output control options.

Output:

Echo print of input, reactions, moments, shears, deflections, influence lines, stresses, resistance, specifications check results, section properties, remaining fatigue and live load ratings.

Note: Update fees are cumulative. Include all update fees for intermediate releases if you are updating from an older version, however the update fee should not exceed that charged for a new license.
