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
Large number of possible wall shapes
Check of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC 2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN)
Design of wing walls
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)
New types of foundation below the abutment (strip footing, piles)
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
