Abutment – Verification of bridge abutments

The program is used to verify abutment design.

Main features

• Large number of possible wall shapes
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango)
• Check of concrete cross-sections according to various standards (EC2, BS 8110, IS456, CSN, PN)
• Verification of wing walls
• Analysis according to the theory of limit states or safety factor
• 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, translation, load-bearing capacity of foundation soil)
• Verification of construction joints and wall keys
• General shape of terrain behind the structure
• Berms in front of the structure
• Various types of pressures in front of the structure (at rest, passive, reduced passive)
• Calculation of earth pressures in effective and total parameters
• Earthquake effects (Mononobe-Okabe, Arrango)
• Multiple construction stages
• Verification of external stability of a wall using program Slope Stability
• Analysis of bearing capacity of foundation soil in program Spread footing
