23 24 Enhancements for 6.7 June 2015 Splice Analysis and Rating for Steel Girders LRFD, LRFR, LFR Hybrid splices Splices for Curved Girders Simple for Dead Load, Continuous for Live Load

24 25 Enhancements for 6.7 June 2015 Cut Top Strand for Prestress Concrete Beams Splayed Girder Computation of Distribution Factors Implement RC Slab System in Substructure LRFR for Floor System AISC Steel Shape Update

25 26 Enhancements for 6.7 June 2015 LRFR Lateral Flange Moment Report AASHTO Engine Specification updates MBE 2 nd Edition, 2015 interim LRFD 7 th Edition 2015 interim Other Maintenance Improvements Allow negative epsilon in concrete shear computation Report actions for both sides of a point-of-interest User-defined DL distribution by percentage

26 27 Design Tools - Update Automated Prestressed Concrete Beam Design Completed the software design Phase 1 Single Beam Design Phase 2 Framing Plan Design Nearly complete with the user interface development for Phase 1 Release of Phase 1 1 st quarter 2016

27 28 Design Tools Update Steel Plate Girder Design Optimization Software design is in progress Defining requirements Preparing user interface mockups Formulating the steel design algorithm

28 29 Modernization Update The modernization proposes to create more powerful, easier to use tools to assist agencies in designing and load rating their inventory in a more cost-effective manner.

29 30 Modernization Update Why Modernize? Life span of the Bridge Design/Bridge Rating predecessor, BARS, was 20+ years It has been nearly 20 years since the design and development of the current system began and 16 years since it s April 1999 release (formerly known as Virtis) The design is based on the technology of the late 1990s.

30 31 Modernization Update Why Modernize? When development started: Windows 95 or NT was common and was replacing Windows 3.11 Needed a 386DX processor Needed minimum 4 MB RAM (8 MB recommended) Hard drives in the MB size were common There have been 7 versions of Windows OS since development began: Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, and 8

31 32 Modernization Update Why Modernize? Currently: Windows 7 or 8 64 bit Memory 16 to 32 GB common Hard drives in 1 or 2 TB are common, very fast solid state drives becoming common in GB range Tremendous changes in OS and hardware over the last years

32 33 Modernization Update Why Modernize? Recent addition of 3D analysis pushes the computational limits of the current system Software tools for development have significantly improved User expectations have matured Hardware has improved, need to take full advantage of new hardware capabilities (e.g. multi-threading)

33 34 Modernization Update Benefits: It is time to migrate to a new architecture using the latest development tools. Significantly upgrade the core technology to a modern software architecture that better utilizes current and future hardware, and the latest software development technologies Improve analysis performance by taking advantage of multi-threading (running multiple tasks simultaneously) capabilities of the latest hardware

34 35 Modernization Update Benefits: Improve and simplify the user interface - easier to use for beginners without losing modeling flexibility for advanced users Improve reporting capabilities Reduce maintenance costs Reduce implementation time for new features

35 36 Modernization Update Progress: Conducted a workshop with stakeholders to identify the requirements that drive the software design. Completed an architecture design that will satisfy those requirements. Prepared conceptual user interface mockups of the modernized user interface. Solicitation for funding later this year (2015)

36 37 Modernization Update In conclusion Improve efficiency for more than 600 consultants and 40 agencies. It s all about the data! Licensing agencies have an enormous investment in their bridge data. The data and your investment will be preserved.
