ADAPT – Acero

ADAPT-Builder

ADAPT-Builder is a full 3D Finite Element Modeling, Analysis, and Design software for conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete buildings, including foundations and elevated slabs.

Key Features:

Comprehensive Structural Analysis: Supports both post-tensioned and conventional concrete structures with advanced finite element analysis for precise stress, deflection and force distribution.
Optimized Post-Tensioning Design: Optimize tendon layouts, reduce material costs and enhance slab performance with automated load distribution and pre-stressing analysis.
Accurate Load & Deflection Control: Automates load calculations, analyze timedependent effects, minimize long-term deflections, and ensures compliance with global design codes such as ACI, Eurocode, and IS codes.
Flexible Design Capabilities: Enables longer column-free spans with shallower depths, maximizing usable space and improving architectural flexibility.
Integrated and Proven Solution: Seamlessly integrates with design tools and is trusted by engineers worldwide for its reliability and expert support.

ADAPT-PT/RC

ADAPT-PT/RC is a specialized software developed by RISA for easily design or evaluate existing concrete or post-tensioned beams, slabs (one and two way), waffle joists, pan joists and continuous beam frame systems

Key Features:

Interactive Model Definition: Easily define span geometry, materials, loads, and tendon/rebar details using intuitive input dialogs.
Comprehensive Design & Reporting: Analyze existing or new slabs and generate take-offs, reports, schedules and rebar/tendon profiles.
Advanced Load & Stress Analysis: Utilize Equivalent Frame Method for PT design, including cracked deflection, losses, elongation and secondary effects.
Global Code Compliance: Supports ACI, Eurocode, IS, and other international standards, ensuring regulatory adherence in various regions.
Optimized Material Use: Reduce costs by refining reinforcement and posttensioning layouts for maximum efficiency

ADAPT-FELT

ADAPT-FELT is an advanced tool designed for the precise estimation of tendon stress losses in post-tensioned structures. It ensures accurate calculations of frictional and long-term losses, helping engineers optimize tendon layouts and improve the overall efficiency of structural designs.

Key Features:

Concise Definition of Tendon Profiles: Use predefined tendon shapes or manually define 2D and 3D layouts with multiple spans for required calculation of all tendon losses.
Comprehensive Loss Calculation: Calculate short and long term losses due to elongations, friction, creep, shrinkage and elastic shortening for both bonded and unbonded pre and post-tensioned tendons.
Code Compliance: Adheres to ACI, Eurocode, and other international standards for reinforced and post-tensioned structures.
Robust Reporting Capabilities: Graphical summary reports including tendon profile and stress as well as detailed tabular reports outlining losses, anchorage, stress ratio and more.
