Critical for the design and analysis of segmental concrete bridges, time-dependent material properties can be utilized within LARSA's 4D Staged Construction Analysis.
LARSA's time-dependent material effects take into consideration the following properties:
Creep and shrinkage of concrete
Relaxation of steel
Time effect on the modulus of elasticity of concrete
Tendon (pre-/post-tensioning) losses from creep, shrinkage, relaxation, and superimposed loads
Custom time-dependent material curves for particular material properties and codes
LARSA's time-dependent material effects work with the following supported codes: AASHTO LRFD 2010, CEB-FIP '78 and '90, AS3600-2009 Australian Codes, and EN 1992-1-1:2004 Eurocode 2.
LARSA, Inc. develops advanced software for the analysis and design of bridges and structures based on the finite element method.
LARSA is privately owned and based in New York, with all its software development and product support conducted in-house.
