AVAILABLE SOFTWARE:

Below are a number of software packages made available to us by the American Concrete Pipe association. These can be purchased from the ACPA or made available to you from your Geneva Pipe representative at no cost. Please be aware that the product descriptions below are greatly abbreviated and additional information can be obtained at the ACPA website.

PIPECAR:
PIPECAR (Pipe Culvert Analysis and Reinforcing Design) is software developed with FHWA and ACPA as a direct design method of structural design and analysis of concrete pipe. This version allows you to design in accordance with ASCE, SIDD (Standard Installation Direct Design) and AASHTO design standards.

PIPEPAC:
This software offers three different programs.
• 3EB (three edge bearing) computes loads using the Indirect Design Method with variable bedding factors. The program can analyze all the standard live loads – truck, aircraft, and railroad while allowing the user to override certain ASTM C-76 calculations. The calculations are performed in English or Metric units.
• LCA (lifecycle analysis) – What is the real cost over the life of the project for the materials specified.


CAPE:
(Cost Analysis Pipe Envelope) – is a great tool to determine the cost and comparison of installations for both rigid and flexible installations.

BOXCAR:
BOXCAR is a software program that was jointly developed by the ACPA and FHWA as a method of direct design and analysis for structural precast reinforced concrete box sections.

DASH:
DASH, (Detention and Sewer Hydraulics) is a software program that is designed to provide engineers with the necessary tools to design a comprehensive storm water detention system using concrete pipe.
