PENNDOT BAR7 V7.11 Program - April 19, 2004

• Incorporates PENNDOT's Continuous Beam Analysis (CBA) program as a library and uses it as an analysis engine for BAR7.  This yields slightly different but more accurate results.

• Incorporates PENNDOT's Beam Section Properties (BSP) program as a library so that section properties calculated and used in BAR7 are consistent with other PENNDOT programs.

• Incorporates the following corrections that were included in BAR7 v7.10a

• Correction to the input edit check for the HINGE AT location that is not on a support
• Correction for an error with the rating of positive moment composite sections such that b'/t' limit is not used.
• Eliminated NaN error for some truss member forces

• Compiled under Compaq Visual Fortran using separate files.  This does not affect the results.

• Only licensed users of BAR7 v7.10 or v7.10a will be able to download BAR7 v7.11.

• Download BAR7 Version 7.11   - (InstallShield Self Extracting Executable, 3.5 MB)
