What's new

v2.9 [May 25, 2015]
Added support for AASHTO LRFD 7th Edition 2014
Added support for AASHTO LRFD 2015 interim provisions
Added deck shrinkage effects to analysis results stress graph
Added new TxDOT loss method
Added new cascading design strategies feature
Added Favorite Reports feature
Added Custom Reports feature
Added new constructability checks
Added new limit state evaluations
Added feature to disable limit state evaluations that are not required by AASHTO
Updated Live Load Distribution Factors computed by WSDOT method due to policy change
Fixed issue modeling future overlay load
Fixed issue applying deck shrinkage elastic gain multiplier
Fixed issue with harped strand adjustment controls for direct filled strand input
Fixed issue reporting effective prestress with live load
Fixed issue evaluating specification compliance for girder hauling analysis
Fixed issue with deck V/S ratio for creep coefficients
Fixed issue with time of initial loading for computing creep coefficients

v2.8 [Mar 9, 2014]
Enhanced modeling of longitudinal reinforcement in the girder to support partial length bars.
The amount of reinforcement in a girder is now used to determine the allowable tension limit during prestress release.
Added support for debonded strands in the Texas Optional Girder Analysis (TOGA) program.
Added support for all TxDOT girder types in the Texas Optional Girder Analysis (TOGA) program.
Added Kansas DOT Transportation Analysis.
Updated bridge framing definition by adding an arbitrary datum line to locate abutments and piers.
Updated modeling of connection geometry.
Added specification checks minimum reinforcement spacing per LRFD 5.10.3.1.2.
Added reduction to cross section depth for pre-decked bridges to account for the sacrificial wearing surface.
Fixed issue with creating the Bridge Analysis Report when all load rating types are disabled.
Fixed problems computing the slab dead load for single girder bridges.
Fixed application of the future wearing surface dead load to account for cases when governing forces and stresses occur prior to installation of the overlay.
Fixed problems validating the geometry layout of longitudinal reinforcement in girders.
Fixed problems reporting reactions.
Fixed problem computing prestress losses when precast deck panels are used. Dead load of deck panels were mistakenly omitted.
Some combinations of input made it impossible to change the girder spacing datum. This problem has been resolved.
Certain combinations of invalid alignment description data would cause PGSuper to crash. This problem has been resolved.
Added analysis points at the start and end of distributed loads.
Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab would not switch between windows. This problem has been resolved.

v2.7 [Sep 26, 2012]
Clarified reporting of failed allowable tension stress checks in the Specification Check Summary
Clarified report of Required Concrete strengths summary in the Details Report
Made minor adjustments to the shear design algorithm
Added Service III live load factor to calculation of effective prestress with live load
Added girder end area to V/S ratio
Fixed problem inputting extended straight strands
Fixed problem creating reports for multiple girders
Fixed problems evaluating horizontal interface shear
