In ADAPT-ABI v4.x and v5.x, users are required to input and specify the tendon shape and stressing forces, and let the program calculates the results which include pre-camber, tendon losses, elongation, and others. Hence, both ADPAT-ABI version 4.x and version 5 do not design any structural component. Nevertheless, to figure out the right shape and post-tensioning forces to be applied, the calculation can be performed easily in our ADAPT-PT PLUS program to meet any code specific allowable stress limits.
