(OP)
Can anyone recommend a good bridge software for a typical one to three (continous) span bridge?
I have done some research and it seems like the SAP 2000 and RAM products are in the $8k to $10k price range. These programs seem to be more sophisticated then I need and a little out of my company's price range.
I would need the following from the software:
-AASHTO LRFD 17th ed
-HL-93 live load analysis
-Continuous bridge analysis
-Steel or Prestressed members
Thank you for your help in advance!

I did a search but the website was interrupted by my protection software reporting a trojan.
We've used STLBRIDGE in the past (a very good program written by an actual bridge engineer who knows AASHTO well)
I know the software writer, but don't know if you can more successfully get to them on their website or not (www.bridgesoft.com)
