This new tutorial demonstrates how to model a touch shoring construction scenario with PGSuper. Touch shoring is used to support precast girders during deck placement to reduce the final stresses in the composite deck and girder system.

We just added a new PGSuper configuration to make it easier for Kansas DOT engineers to use PGSuper. The configuration includes common I Beam sections used by KDOT. Find more information at:
Note that you must be running PGSuper 2.4.2 or later to use the KDOT configurations.
About DOT Configurations
Enhancements made in PGSuper Version 2.4 include support for modeling lightweight concrete. Engineers can now define both the girder and deck concrete as normal weight, sand lightweight, or all lightweight concrete. This new tutorial describes how to model lightweight concrete material properties in PGSuper.

We just added a new PGSuper configuration to make it easier for Oregon DOT engineers to use PGSuper. The configuration includes all common I Beam sections used by ODOT.
About DOT Configurations
WSDOT and TxDOT engineers know how easy it can be to design precast girders using PGSuper. Preset configurations put predefined girder sections, standards, and design policies just a few mouse clicks away.

Many state DOT's make use of the Inverted Tee Bent Cap system in simple span precast-prestressed concrete girder bridges. PGSuper does not model any specific substructure system, but instead provides a flexible geometric description to accommodate inverted tee bent caps and virtually every other substructure system. This tutorial explores how to define the connection geometry for an inverted tee pier cap.
