Overview
Related Software
  1. AASHTOWare - Family of software products developed, maintained and enhanced by AASHTO (American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) and their affiliates under the Cooperative Computer Software Development activity. These products then available for license to AASHTO member departments, educational institutions, and other private and public agencies. The software suite includes: (1) AASHTO Trns*port - management of pre-construction and construction contract information; (2) Pontis - comprehensive bridge management system; (3) Virtis - bridge load rating; (4) Opis - bridge design; (5) DARWin - pavement analysis and design system; (6) SDMS - survey data management system; (7) TSIMS - transportation safety management system.
  2. ABD-Loads - Bridge loading software that calculates reactions, moment and shear envelopes for all standard AASHTO loadings and over 200 other predefined truck loadings.
  3. ABD-Slab - Bridge slab design software for beam/girder type bridges in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD code.
  4. ADAPT-ABI - Special-purpose program 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.
  5. AISISplice - AISIsplice is a tool for the analysis and design of bolted field splices for straight, right, I-shaped, steel girders that follows the procedures of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. In the design mode, the software sizes and optimizes the splice plates and bolts. In the analysis mode, the software determines the adequacy of given splice plates and bolts. For both modes, performance ratios (load/resistance) for all splice components are determined. The software output consists of scaled graphics and a detailed report. Graphic illustrations include the elevation and cross section views of the splice and adjoined girders. Graphical output includes splice dimensions, bolt details, a summary of required filler plates, and splice component performance ratios. AISI Splice was developed by Dr. Firas Ibrahim and AISI's Transportation and Infrastructure Group.
  6. BD2 (Bridge Designer II) - 2D stage construction analysis and design of pre/post-tensioned concrete bridges.
  7. BD3 - 3D stage construction analysis and design of pre/post-tensioned concrete bridges.
  8. BRASS Suite - Suite of programs for Bridge Rating and Analysis of Structural Systems known as BRASS includes the following programs: (1) BRASS-GIRDER, BRASS-GIRDER(LRFD) - systems for the analysis and rating of highway bridge girders; (2) BRASS-PIER, BRASS-PIER(LRFD) - analysis and design of reinforced concrete bridge piers; (3) BRASS-CULVERT - analysis and design of reinforced concrete box culverts; (4) BRASS-POLE - analysis of cantilever sign, luminaire and signal support structures; (5) BRASS-SPLICE - design of field splices for rolled beam or welded plate steel girders; (6) BRASS-TRUSS - analysis and load rating of simple or continuous truss or girder bridges; (7) BRASS-PAD - design and analysis of elastomeric bridge bearings; (8) BRASS-DIST - calculates wheel load distribution factors.
