LARSA 4D BRIDGE PLUS

4D BRIDGE SERIES - Features

LARSA 4D BRIDGE PLUS

LARSA 4D BRIDGE Plus is the premier tool for the analysis and design of segmental, cable-supported, skewed, or other advanced bridge types. This package includes everything in LARSA 4D BRIDGE plus pre- and post-tensioned tendons and material time effects such as creep and shrinkage.

LARSA 4D Steel Bridge Module

LARSA 4D's Steel Bridge Module uses a wizard-like interface to simplify 3D model generation for complex I, box, and tub girder bridges, while providing fully integrated AASHTO compliant code check and load rating tools, along with the ability to move beyond typical grillage analysis to utilize influence surface based live load.

LARSA Section Composer Tool

LARSA's Section Composer is a graphical companion tool for modeling arbitrary sections for use in LARSA 4D. Section Composer supports standard, parametric, nonprismatic, and custom shape sections
