Prestressed Beam Design to ACI

[AF92]

Long time lurker, first time poster…

I’m looking for a piece of software to do analysis/capacity calcs on a prestressed girder to ACI (NOT AASHTO). I’ve read posts that mention Presto, but it seems to have gone away. Has it been rolled into one of the other Bentley products??

Open to other suggestions as well. Really don’t want to trot out hand calcs if I can help it. Every piece of software I’ve found is for AASHTO. Or for P/T (not P/S)

My personal favorite is Concise Beam: https://www.blackmint.com/CB_Home.html

Erikkson also has an offering I believe: https://www.erikssonsoftware.com/

Looks like the guy that maintains Concise Beam has retired and no longer selling new licenses. I'll have to see if we have a license to Erikkson....probably not worth jumping through the 500 corporate hoops to get a license for a new piece of software that won't get used often.

RAPT fully incorporates ACI-318 for Pre-tensioned beam design as well as Post-tensioned design.
