Introduction to Bridge Software Institute FB-MultiPier 5.6.0

Bridge Software Institute FB-MultiPier 5.6.0 is a nonlinear finite element analysis program designed for analyzing multiple bridge pier structures interconnected by bridge spans.

Overview

The software allows for the analysis of bridge pier structures subjected to a variety of AASHTO load types in both static and dynamic analyses. It consists of pier columns and a cap supported on a pile cap and piles/shafts with nonlinear soil behavior.

FB-MultiPier combines nonlinear structural finite element analysis with nonlinear static soil models for axial, lateral, and torsional soil behavior, providing a robust system for analyzing coupled bridge pier structures and foundation systems. The software generates finite element models internally based on the geometric input provided by the designer, streamlining the analysis process.
