PUS Pro Program

A Windows application for the design and verification of Prestressed Concrete Composited Opening U-type Steel Box Girder bridges.

PUS Pro Program introduction

Overview

PUS Pro Program is a complete workspace for designing and checking this type of steel box-girder bridge. It connects bridge geometry, structural analysis, design-code checks, calculation sheets, and quantity take-offs in one Windows application.

Technical capabilities

Bridge design teams often complete preliminary design, modelling, internal-force extraction, code checks, revisions, final calculations, and quantity take-offs in separate tools. PUS Pro brings these tasks together and includes checks for secondary bridge components. It has reduced design time by more than 90%, from about one week to a few hours.

Technical scope

Horizontal and vertical alignment input, supporting multiple alignments for different bridge layouts.
Automatic load calculation.
Built-in solver, with the option to use external solvers.
Live design-code checks.
Main girder and secondary component checks, including splices, stiffeners, stringers, crossbeams, bracing systems, diaphragms, bearings, shear connectors, and welds.
Excel and PDF calculation sheets and quantity tables.
