Design of reinforcement
Abutment
This program is used to design bridge abutments including wing walls. It allows to check the abutment for overturning, translation, bearing capacity of foundation soil and dimensioning of decisive or reinforced concrete sections (including wings).
Main Features
- Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, factor of safety);
- EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes;
- EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations;
- Check of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC 2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN);
- Large number of possible wall shapes;
- Generally layered soil environment;
- Built-in database of soil parameters;
- Arbitrary number of surcharges applied to structures (strip, trapezoidal, concentrated load);
- Arbitrary number of inserted forces (anchors, safety fences, etc.);
- Modelling of water in front of and behind structures, modelling of artesian water;
- Analysis of internal stability (overturning, slip, bearing capacity of foundation soil);
- Verification of construction joints and wall keys;
- General shape of terrain behind the structure;
- Front face resistance in front of the structure (at rest, passive, reduced passive);
- Berms in front of the structure;
- Calculation of earth pressures in effective and total parameters;
- Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango, Chinese standards);
- Multiple construction stages.
Programs Linked Together
The program allows to transfer some data for additional verification to the following programs:
- Slope Stability – Verification of external stability of structures
- Spread Footing – Analysis of bearing capacity of foundation soil
- Pile Group – Analysis of bearing capacity of pile group
- Pile – Analysis of bearing capacity of single pile
