ADAPT-PT 2010 is an improved version of our highly efficient and reliable software for the analysis, design, and investigation of elevated post-tensioned concrete beams, joist, one-way, two-way and slab band systems. ADAPT-PT 2010 incorporates the new design codes, Windows 7 / 64 bit compatibility, and many improvements to the operation of the software.

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.

Product Details

ADAPT-PT is the industry standard stand-alone program for the design of beam frames, slabs and floor systems post-tensioned with either bonded, or unbonded tendons. For two-way floor systems the user can base the analysis on either the Equivalent Frame Method, or the Simple Frame Method. For the post-tensioning design, the user can select between the Effective Force method and the Variable Force (Tendon Selection) method. In the Variable Force method, the software computes and accounts for the tendons' friction and long-term stress losses along the length of the post-tensioned member. ADAPT-PT can handles drop caps, drop panels, steps above and below, transverse beams and non-prismatic sections. Selfweight is calculated using actual dimensions and material properties. In addition to the post-tensioning amount and profile, the software reports the location and amount of the nonprestressed steel along the length of the structure for the strength and minimum requirements. The solution is presented in a clear and concise tabular form, as well as in graphical format.
