::::::English Description::::::

RC-PIER® is an integrated tool for the AASHTO Standard and LRFD analysis and design of reinforced concrete bridge substructures and foundations. By incorporating both LFD and LRFD specifications in one interface, RC-PIER makes the transition to LRFD simple and efficient. RC-PIER allows users to design multi-column and hammerhead piers, straight, tapered or variable caps, and circular, rectangular (tapered and non-tapered) or drilled-shaft columns. Footing types include isolated or combined, supported on either soil or piles. There is no limit to the number of loads, bearings and piles that may be included in the design. Analysis results are presented in a variety of easy-to-view formats.
