ADAPT-PT® Post-Tensioning Design Software

The world’s most popular software for the design of post-tensioned slabs and beams.

Since 1981, ADAPT-PT’s proven reliability and ease-of-use have made it the most widely used
software for the design of post-tensioned slabs and beams worldwide. It is based on the Equivalent
Frame Method of analysis and leads the user through a simple to follow, step-by-step modeling and
design process. Its unmatched ability to speedily produce optimized designs and quantity take-offs in
minutes have made it the tool of choice for design professionals seeking to complete their post-
tensioned projects profitably and consistently on time. Designers of beam and slab parking structures,
in particular, find ADAPT-PT to be the best suited solution for their type of projects. And, ADAPT-PT
is widely deployed as a training tool for engineers new to the design of post-tensioning.

Applications and Project Types:


• Post-tensioned slab systems (buildings)
o One-way slabs and two-way flat plates
o Waffle, pan joist, and skip joist systems
• Beams and beam frames (parking structures)
• Bonded (grouted) and unbounded post-tensioning

Key Modeling Capabilities:


• 3D structural view reduces modeling errors
• Models design strips with regular or irregular geometry
• Supports drop caps, drop panels and transverse beams
• Multiple tendon profiles with customizable shape functions Supported Design Codes:
• Supports any user-defined configuration of base reinforcement • ACI-318 (1999, 2005 & 2008)
• IBC (2006 & 2009)
Key Analysis Features: • British-BS8110 (1997)
• Canadian-A23.3 (1994 & 2004)
• Simple or Equivalent Frame analysis options
• Australian-AS3600 (2001)

• Indian IS456 (2005 reprint)
• Automatically combines gravity and lateral loads
• European EC2 (2004)
• Calculates secondary (hyperstatic) actions
• Hong Kong CoP (2007)
• Investigation of existing slabs and beams
• Chinese GB 50010 (2002)
• Integrated friction, long-term loss, and elongation calculation

Advanced Interactive Design:


• Automatically calculates optimized design based on user- and
code-specified design parameters
• Interactive design review dashboard clearly shows all relevant
metrics of each design iteration
• Instantly shows effect of changes in tendon force and profile
• Performs code check for reinforcement and post-tensioning
• Calculated reinforcement checked against base rebar Available Reports:
• Offers moment redistribution option • Concise tabular and graphical reports
• Integrated punching shear design for studs or stirrups • Summary report for reinforcement
• Checks beam shear capacity and calculates stirrup requirement • Material quantities
