ADAPT-Builder provides the user with the ability to add post-tensioning to ramps modeled within the program. Users can add tendons in ramp slabs as well as add tendons in beams supporting the ramp. The tendons and effects of the tendons on the structure will be included in the analysis of the model. To learn more about this feature, watch the video below:
Additional information about the modeling and analysis of post-tensioned tendons in ramps can be found by reviewing the ADAPT-Builder Online Help file:
