GEOMATH
GEOMATH
GEOMATH is fully parametric
keeping track of critical
information pertinent to each
project component. For example,
changes made in an alignment,
profile or superelevation are
reflected in the final bridge
model.
Reports include geometric design
information on abutments, pier
caps pedestals, beam seats, deck
contours, screed and final deck
elevations at user-specified points
along the span.
Material quantities, including deck
concrete, haunch build up and
deck reinforcing are automatically
calculated.

LFD & LRFD Simple and
Continuous Prestressed
Beam Design
Library contains all
standard AASHTO girders,
bulb tees, box beams,
double and single tee,
rectangular beams, etc.
and users can add
customized cross-
sections.
Automatically calculates
distribution factors,
impact/dynamic
allowance factors,
allowable stresses, etc.
Grillage-based option for
computing more refined
distribution factors for
many geometry
configurations.

RC-PIER
RC-PIER
Design of reinforced concrete
bridge substructures and
foundations.
Piers types are multi-column
and hammerhead piers with
straight, tapered or variable
caps, and circular, rectangular
(tapered and non-tapered) or
drilled-shaft columns.
Footing types include isolated
or combined, supported on
either soil or piles.
Integrated design of cap,
biaxial columns, and footings
using LFD, LRFD or working
stress methods.
Strut-and-Tie (STM) modeling
to obtain optimized
structures.
