• New analysis option to include approach slab

  • Note: if this is selected, live load surcharge will be neglected

• New option for users to define the free field displacement in the seismic analysis

• New option to apply horizontal loads at the top of the walls to inverted three-sided culverts

• Added ability to define additional analysis points

• Allow more letters for designer name
