Deliverable 2: A written memorandum summarizing software maintenance actions that were taken during the contract period.

Task 3.1: Software Enhancement (ATLAS) – Updates to align with the latest FDOT

Specification

The ATLAS program assists users in analyzing and designing highway signals and signs supported by dual and single point cable connected systems. The program utilizes FDOT standard concrete and steel strain poles, while also allowing users to specify custom pole configurations.

This task involves revisions to the ATLAS engine and to the help manual documentation to integrate data from the latest FDOT structural manual and the updated standard plans for steel strain poles (Index 649-010, FY 2025-26). Specifically, the update will include changes related to the biaxial bending reduction factor and the ultimate moment capacity table. These enhancements will ensure that the users can design signal and sign support systems in compliance with the most current FDOT design procedures.

Contract No. BEJ24

For more context, Table 1 presents the ultimate moment capacities for FDOT standard steel poles as implemented in ATLAS version 7.2.0. Table 2 provides the updated values as outlined in the Index 649-010. Additionally, the ATLAS program will be updated to align with the latest guidance provided in the FDOT Structures Manual to maintain compliance with the latest FDOT specifications.

Deliverable 3.1: A written memorandum that documents implementation and use of a new ultimate moment capacities for FDOT standard steel strain poles in Index 649-010 Steel Strain Pole (FY 2025-26), and latest design guidelines in the FDOT structures manual in the ATLAS program;

software installation files; and help files for the updated ATLAS software.

Task 3.2: Software Enhancement (FB-MultiPier) – Load Factor updates as per AASHTO specification.

The FB-MultiPier program assists users in constructing load combinations using the AASHTO LRFD and LFD design specifications. For AASHTO LRFD cases, the current version of FB-MultiPier utilizes the AASHTO LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) Bridge Design Specifications, 9th Edition, 2020, for automatic generation of default load factors and load combination for each considered limit state. However, AASHTO has made updates to these load factors in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 10th Edition, 2024. These changes are stated below:

1. For Extreme Event II, use maximum and minimum values for load types, Live Load (LL) and Impact Load (IM), depending on the cases described in LRFD Section 3.4.1

2. Remove load type for downdrag force (DD) and add a new load type for drag load (DR), as per LRFD Sections 3.4.1 and 3.11.8.

3. Update the load factor for the load type corresponding to force effects from uniform temperature (TU), as per LRFD Section 3.4.1.

4. Add a new load subtype for creep and shrinkage (CR, SH) as per LRFD Section 3.4.1 (Table 3.4.1-3).

Contract No. BEJ24

In this task, revisions will be made to the FB-MultiPier user interface (UI), engine, Fortran DLL (dynamic link library) and help manual documentation to enable bridge designers to use the default load factors mentioned in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 10th Edition, 2024 (LRFD Section 3.4.1). This enhancement will necessitate an update to the ‘Load Case Manager’, the ‘Load Factor Table’ in the FB-MultiPier user interface, along with corresponding updates to the Fortran DLL and analytical engine.

Deliverable 3.2: A written memorandum that documents implementation of changes to the load combinations and load factors specified in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 10th Edition, 2024 into FB-MultiPier; software installation files; and help files for the updated FB- MultiPier software.

Task 4.1: Technology Transfer (Phase -I)

Technology transfer (Phase -I) involves a 2-hour technical presentation as described below during July 2025 – December 2025.

• Technical presentation: BSI software training workshop. UF-BSI will conduct an online 2-hours BSI software training workshop for up to 50 FDOT engineers using one of the BSI software (FB-Deep/FB-MultiPier/GeoStat), where each attendee will pre-install a copy of the most recently released official version of that BSI software. The workshop will involve a presentation of technical materials, live demonstrations, and technical assistance for all attendees.

Deliverable 4.1: Upon completion of the BSI software training workshop, UF-BSI will provide FDOT with PDF copies of technical materials presented during the workshop, and a memorandum summarizing workshop attendance.

Task 4.2: Technology Transfer (Phase -II)

Technology transfer (Phase-II) involves disseminating technical information and software updates for UF-BSI software packages (during July 2025 - June 2026) and two 2-hour technical presentations as described below (during Jan - June 2026). Example technology transfer actions that will be performed are as follows:

• Publish to the UF-BSI website technical documentation that describes program updates and enhancements: 1) in summary form (newsletters), and 2) in detailed form (help manuals, technical manuals).

• Publish revised validation documents using the latest updated UF-BSI software packages.

• Create installation packages for updated UF-BSI software packages and revise the UF-BSI website to distribute these updated installation packages to licensed users.

• Create and publish, online, concise technical video tutorials illustrating selected aspects of UF- BSI software usage.

Contract No. BEJ24

• Technical presentations: BSI software training workshop. UF-BSI will conduct two (2) software training workshops, each 2-hours in duration, for up to 50 FDOT engineers. Each workshop will showcase one of the selected BSI software (FB-MultiPier / FB-Deep / GeoStat / Atlas), where each attendee will pre-install a copy of the most recently released official version of that BSI software. The workshop will involve presentation of technical materials, live demonstrations, and technical assistance for all attendees.

Deliverable 4.2: Upon completion of the BSI software training workshop, UF-BSI will provide FDOT with PDF copies of technical materials presented during the workshop, and a memorandum summarizing workshop attendance.
