The appropriate consideration of prestressing tendons and ducts is a relevant feature of any BIM solution for bridges. Especially post-tensioning which has demanding requirements for proper modelling and management. “Prestressed bridges are a widely-used type among concrete bridges. The new version features several improvements such as sophisticated functionality for considering post-tensioning tendons.

Even complex geometries with a high level of detail can be easily created.
ALLPLAN BRIDGE 2019 SOFTWARE
Allplan Bridge is the powerful BIM software specially tailored for bridge engineering. Munich, 15 October 2018 – ALLPLAN, an international provider of open solutions for Building Information Modeling (BIM), announces today the most recent version of its parametric 3D modeling software Allplan Bridge 2019. New version focuses on Prestressing Tendons To get more information, visit Bridge 2019 with sophisticated functionality for considering post-tensioning tendons. The output is a trustworthy parametric 4D bridge model.

With Allplan Bridge 2019-1, various different construction plans can be made for the equivalent bridge for a variant comparison. Either the start date or the start day is applied as the starting point. Initially, the construction plan is segregated into different construction phases and then into individual tasks like concrete hardening, tendon stressing or activating the self-weight. Integration of the fourth dimension: In Allplan Bridge 2019-1, the construction process can be mapped in a 4D model. To maximize the management of tendon stressing, the sequences of stressing actions are preserved as named “stress groups”. These actions are executed at the beginning of the tendon, at the end, or at both sides at the same time. Stressing, wedge slip, and releasing are existing actions. Planning stressing sequences in Allplan Bridge: A stressing sequence is specified for each tendon provided in the model. The bridge engineer will acquire the road data and quickly start with the bridge design. Smooth data exchange: By incorporating road data, road/bridge alignment is easily obtained through ALLPLAN’s open BIM platform known as Allplan Bimplus. The location of these objects is automatically revised whenever the model is updated. When the parametric model is transmitted to Allplan Engineering, the subsequent objects are placed at these reference points. These points are connected to the object in the Allplan library with the relevant name. To perform this, reference points are specified in Allplan Bridge with variables along the bridge. Save time with parametric object placement: Objects from the Allplan Engineering library is referenced in Allplan Bridge 2019 to provide further details like lamp posts or anchor devices of tendons to the bridge model. The modifications are integrated only at their origin and all other connected members are automatically updated. The parametric model description is a perfect base for adjusting design modifications. Each 3D Tendon point is indicated by the position along the axis, and the position in the cross-section concerning a reference point.Ĭhanges made in no time at all: Allplan Bridge allows you to manage the predictable changes that happen throughout the design process. Streamline Prestressing: Allplan Bridge 2019 simplifies the process to model an extensive range of pre-stressing: with immediate or later bond, internal and external, longitudinal, transverse and vertical, together with non-standard geometry.ĭepending on user-defined 3D points, the program automatically produces the geometry of a tendon along the bridge structure.

The location and number of components are then specified and automatically arranged along a cross-section edge. Initially, the profile is specified parametrically in a individual section or imported from the user library.

Modelling of composite and steel bridges: While specifying the cross-section, standardised and recurring profiles like longitudinal stiffeners for steel and composite cross-sections can be simply placed parametrically. Complex geometries along with double curved alignment and variable cross-sections are produced easily with alphanumeric entries and formulas.
