  • ANSRuop - The ANSRuop computer program is specialized structural analysis software, designed for scientific research as well as to aid practicing engineers. Its capabilities include static and dynamic, linear and non-linear analysis of structures. A wide spectrum of structures can be analysed through generalized modeling, the program is targeted towards the displacement- and deformation-based assessment of the non-linear seismic responce of reinforced concrete buildings and bridges. In this direction, the relevant rules and expressions of Eurocode 8 Part 3 as well as the Greek Code for interventions on existing structues are built into the program.

  • Allplan - Nemetschek Allplan provides object-oriented planning and design software for architects and engineers. It enables users to create architectural and structure models, as well as obtain information on quantities and costs throughout all project phases. What makes this software special is that you can switch between 2D drafting and 3D modeling depending on the project phase or type. In this way, you can combine the best of both worlds and use the approach that suits you best at any time.
  • CELL4 - Legacy software from 1985 which based upon the finite element method and is particularly suited for the analysis of post-tensioned box girder bridges of constant depth which have arbitrary plan geometry and support conditions. Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley. CELL4: Elastic Finite Element Analysis of Prestressed Cellular Structures of Arbitrary Plan Geometry and Constant Depth Chan, Esmond C.-Y.; Scordelis, Alex C. Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1985, CELL4 is a program based upon the finite element method and is particularly suited for the analysis of post-tensioned box girder bridges of constant depth which have arbitrary plan geometry and support conditions. The bridge can be straight, curved, or quadrilateral in plan. The longitudinal interior webs must be vertical, but the longitudinal exterior webs can be vertical, sloping, or curved. Transverse diaphragms can be modelled by vertical web elements or by special web elements in regions with sloping or curved webs. The top and bottom deck slabs as well as the interior and the exterior webs may be prestressed. Boundary conditions at any nodal point are arbitrary, allowing rigid supports as well as translational and rotational elastic supports, oriented in any arbitrary direction to simulate the stiffness of the supporting columns and bents. For prestressing analysis an automatic input has been provided to define the geometry of the two types of post-tensioned unbonded tendons which can be used. Each panel or slab tendon can be stressed either from one end or both ends, and losses due to friction and anchorage slip are accounted for. In order to facilitate the interpretation of output, an automatic integration of internal forces to give individual girder and total sectional force resultants is incorporated. This permits a better understanding of the load carrying mechanism in a complex bridge system, and can also be used to carry out equilibrium checks easily.
  • Concise Beam - Concise Beam is an easy to use Microsoft Windows based program for the design of precast concrete beams. Concise Beam will perform a load analysis and design checks in accordance with the latest edition of ACI 318, CSA A23.3 or AS3600. CSA S6 is also supported without moving loads. Key code parameters can be customized to simulate other design codes. The beam can be conventionally reinforced and pretensioned. It can model any cross-sectional shape and will allow the cross-section to vary prismatically (step-wise) over the length of the beam. A graphical editor allows the user to describe any cross-section, including voids, openings or cut-outs. Concise Beam currently works in two-dimensions but will also account for torsion along the beam. The user can work in metric or Imperial (US Customary) units, select from a variety of individual units (i.e. mm, cm, m), and switch back and forth at will. Libraries of industry standard cross-sections and materials are provided with Concise Beam. The standard libraries can be modified, extended and customized by the user.

  • LAPBOX - Legacy software from 1986 for the analysis of curved nonprismatic reinforced and prestressed concrete box girder bridges. Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley. LAPBOX: Linear Elastic Analysis of Box Girder Bridges Choudhury, Deepak Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1986, LAPBOX is an implementation of a numerical procedure for the analysis of curved nonprismatic reinforced and prestressed concrete box girder bridges. Thin-walled beam theory and the finite element method are combined to develop a curved nonprismatic thin-walled box beam element. The cross section of the element is a rectangular single-cell box with side cantilevers. The axis of the element is curved in plan. The cross sectional dimensions vary along the element axis. Eight displacement degrees of freedom, including transverse distortion and longitudinal warping of the cross section are considered at each of the three element nodes. Small displacements and small strains are assumed in the element formulation. Prestressing, consisting of post-tensioned bonded tendons in the longitudinal direction, is considered. The tendons are idealized as straight prestressing steel segments between nodes of the box beam elements. Friction and anchorage slip losses are considered.

  • YieldLine Analysis - YieldLine Analysis program is based on Yield Line Theory to analyse quadrilateral orthotropic slabs, supported on two, three or four sides. It uses the equilibrium method to identify critical yield pattern and a work solution to calculate the collapse load and design moments in a slab. The program can substantially cut down the design time in identifying the critical yield pattern. The accuracy of the final solution can be refined depending on the fineness of the grid. The program can be used to assess the effects of various assumed yield line patterns. It can also assist in understanding that virtual work method solution converges more rapidly than the equilibrium method. YieldLine Analysis is a fully integrated analysis tool. You can create, analyse and display data without leaving YieldLine Analysis environment.
