5. Type of Bridges that can be modeled STRAP For Bridge Designers -2 • Post tension box girder bridges • Grillages • Beam + Slab bridges • Continuous bridges Straight/ curved • 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.

6. Otherinteresting features STRAP For Bridge Designers -3 • 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 • We recommend STRAP + CROSEC + AutoBridge + POSTEN Modules for bridge Designers

11. STRAP ForSteel Designers • If you are serious in designingLeast Cost Steel Structuresthen STRAP is the best choice for you. Steel Design/Optimization

12. Automatic Calculation of unsupported lengths STRAP ForSteel Designers-2 Design of single/ star angles about principal axis.

13. COMPOSITE SECTIONS • Calculation of shear studs • Partial shear connection • Design for wet concrete condition • Calculation of short term and long term deflections • Option to account for negative moment reinforcement Composite column and beam design Built-up section design/ optimization. User can control flange orientation. STRAP ForSteel Designers-3 Tapered/Prismatic section design

14. For Cost Optimization Specify the deflection or drift, program automatically optimizes the whole structure - Engineer can get the least cost structure using STRAP!!! • Different cost factors can be assigned to various section types or member groups. • Selection of sections can be subject to user constraints. STRAP STRAP ForSteel Designers-4 • For Transmission Tower Designers • IS 802 is available for tower design • Automatic generation of wind load on towers/ Open structures.

15. Automatic GA drawing preparation and quantity calculations. STRAP ForSteel Designers-5 Export through DXF to any cad programs. Composite column and beam design

16. Standard Sections + user can create customized sections + import through DXF For Cold Formed Steel Designers Simple to most complicated sections can be analyzed and designed. STRAP ForSteel Designers-6 • Design for AISI, BS and Euro codes • New section types can be added to the library by defining the basic dimensions only. • Calculation of torsional flexural buckling for LTB • Design for reduced section according to the web thickness/depth ratio • Hot rolled sections can be used in the same model. • To define new sections apart from standard, CROSEC module is necessary. We recommend STRAP + Cold formed+ CROSEC for cold formed steel designers

17. BEAMS Definition STRAP For RC Designers Fully Automatic and Integrated system for RC Structure design, detailing and construction drawing production with BBS

18. BEAMS Definition STRAP For RC Designers -1 RC Frames + Shear walls + Lift cores + Flat slabs + Raft Modeling .. All in one system

19. Automatic generation of rigid links for efficient load transfer Any complicated shear wall/ lift core section can be defined in single step Program automatically generates additional beams, where ever coupling beams are defined for proper moment transfer Special Features for Shear Wall Modeling STRAP ForRC Designers -2

20. User controlled mesh size Automatic meshing Automatically aligns with existing nodes Automatically aligns with adjacent elements FE Modeling is very Simple STRAP ForRC Designers -3

21. Automatic generation of pattern loads STRAP For RC Designers -4 Automatic generation of notional loads

22. Program automatically detects continuous beams Reinforcement for beams for the moment at the face of the column. Considerable savings on reinforcement. Beam design and detailing STRAP ForRC Designers-4 Cost effective designs

23. Automatic Detection of un supported lengths for column design. Automatic Calculation of effective length factors STRAP ForRC Designers-5

24. Design for any shaped cross sections • Automatic Optimization of reinforcement for a given cross section. • The column capacity calculation is exact. Program calculates neutral axis and stress & strain in each bar from neutral axis. • Reinforcement can be grouped for different levels and different columns. • Graphical Display of reinforcement and column capacity factor. User can specify the reinforcement in the column RC Column Design features STRAP ForRC Designers-6
