STRAP For Bridge Designers

Rel 12.5 Highlights

AutoBridge Automatic Bridge Analysis

AutoBridge is seamlessly integrated with STRAP, Making it Most Easiest for bridge modeling and analysis

STRAP Rel 12.5, provide total solution for bridge designers

STRAP For Bridge Designers -1

Rel 12.5 Highlights

Parametric Section Property Developer for bridge Girders

Thanks to enhanced version of CROSEC module, user can define cross section properties effortlessly. Apart from that, section can be imported to CROSEC through DXF option. CROSEC automatically calculate all the properties of the section and the same can be assigned to the members in STRAP.

Type of Bridges that can be modeled

STRAP For Bridge Designers -2

Bridge Loading

IRC loadings are in built. Apart from it, user can define his/her own vehicle loads. User can define any number of lanes and choose the type of vehicle, program automatically move the loads for maximum and minimum effects Program can also automatically shift the lanes Lanes can be straight or curved.

Post tension box girder bridges Grillages Beam + Slab bridges Continuous bridges Straight/ curved

Other interesting features

STRAP For Bridge Designers -3

We recommend

STRAP + CROSEC + AutoBridge + POSTEN Modules for bridge Designers

Construction stage analysis. Post tensioning as per IRC 18 and other international codes Most easy to build the model using state-of-the art graphics system Additional options to bring in DXF files in to STRAP geometry to build the geometry of the bridge

Steel Design/Optimization If you are serious in designing Least Cost Steel

Structures then STRAP is the best choice for you.

STRAP For Steel Designers

Automatic Calculation of unsupported lengths

Design of single/ star angles about principal axis.

STRAP For Steel Designers-2

Tapered/Prismatic section design

Built-up section design/ optimization. User can control flange orientation. COMPOSITE SECTIONS

Calculation of shear studsPartial shear connection Design for wet concrete conditionCalculation of short term and long term deflectionsOption to account for negative moment reinforcement Composite column

and beam design

For Transmission Tower Designers

IS 802 is available for tower designAutomatic generation of wind load on towers/ Open structures.

Different cost factors can be assigned to various section types or member groups. Selection of sections can be subject to user constraints.

Specify the deflection or drift, program automatically optimizes the whole structure

- Engineer can get the least cost structure using STRAP!!!

For Cost Optimization

Composite column and beam design

Automatic GA drawing preparation and quantity calculations.

Export through DXF to any cad programs.

STRAP For Steel Designers-5

Design for AISI, BS and Euro codesNew section types can be added to the library by defining the basic dimensions only. Calculation of torsional flexural buckling for LTBDesign for reduced section according to the web thickness/depth ratioHot rolled sections can be used in the same model.To define new sections apart from standard, CROSEC module is necessary.

For Cold Formed Steel Designers

Simple to most complicated sections can be analyzed and designed.

Standard Sections + user can create customized sections + import through DXF

STRAP For Steel Designers-6

We recommend STRAP + Cold formed+ CROSEC for cold formed steel designers
