CSiBridge V15

Modeling, analysis and design of bridge structures have been integrated into CSiBridge to create the ultimate in computerized engineering tools. The ease with which all of these tasks can be accomplished makes CSiBridge the most versatile and productive software program available on the market today.

Using CSiBridge, engineers can easily define complex bridge geometries, boundary conditions and load cases. The bridge models are defined parametrically, using terms that are familiar to bridge engineers such as layout lines, spans, bearings, abutments, bents, hinges and post-tensioning. The software creates spine, shell or solid object models that update automatically as the bridge definition parameters are changed.

CSiBridge design allows for quick and easy design and retrofitting of steel and concrete bridges. The parametric modeler allows the user to build simple or complex bridge models and to make changes efficiently while maintaining total control over the design process. Lanes and vehicles can be defined quickly and include width effects. Simple and practical Gantt charts are available to simulate modeling of construction sequences and scheduling.

CSiBridge includes an easy to follow wizard that outlines the steps necessary to create a bridge model.

Completely integrated within the CSiBridge design package is the power of the SAPFire® analysis engine, including staged construction, creep and shrinkage analysis, cable tensioning to target forces, camber and shape finding, geometric nonlinearity (P-delta and large displacements), material nonlinearity (superstructure, bearings, substructure and soil supports), buckling and static and dynamic analysis. All of these apply to a single comprehensive model. In addition, AASHTO LRFD design is included with automated load combinations, superstructure design and the latest seismic design.

SAFE V12 with CoP2004

SRC is pleased to announce that SAFE V12.3.1 has obtained prior acceptance from the Buildings Department for analysis and design in accordance to CoP2004SE. SAFE has been completely revamped using the latest technology developed by CSI to analyze and design plate structures in any arbitrary direction.



Two levels of SAFE are available, SAFE and SAFE P/T (with post-tensioning). Document generation and detailing are included in both levels.

SAFE V12.3.1 is basically a new software with the same analysis and design concepts of the previous version 8. Important new features include:

• All 6 degrees of freedom are available.
• New interface.
• Multiple Grid Systems Including Rectangular, Cylindrical and General.
• Quick conversion of CAD drawing into SAFE model.
• Enhanced Automatic Meshing
• Code of Practice for Structural Use of Concrete 2004. 
• RC and PT design in any arbitrary directions instead of just X/Y directions.
• Easy translation of AutoCAD drawings into SAFE structures.
• New report and detailing module included in both Standard and P/T versions.

• Analysis of Elastic Critical Load (Elastic Buckling)

• Dynamic Frequency Analysis for Space Frame

• Steel Design to BS5950:1990

• Steel Design to Code of Practice for the Structural use of Steel 2005

SPACE GASS is a general purpose structural analysis and design program for 2D and 3D frames, trusses, grillages and beams. It comes with a full complement of features that make it suitable for any job from small beams, trusses and portal frames to large high rise buildings, towers, cranes and bridges. Items such as graphical input, polar coordinates, elastic supports, pin-ended members, tension-only members, rigid member offsets, moving loads and non-linear analysis are all standard features.

SPACE GASS includes 2nd order PΔδ analysis which is valid for non-sway, sway and sway ultra-sensitive frames.  The comprehensive output allows designers to trace the entire design procedure.
