Solving the previous example from full iteration Now it’s time to solve the previous example from full iteration. For simplicity, interaction with flexure is not considered. In other words, it is assumed that the status is in a pure shear c...

MIDASoft bridge library containing project case studies, practical applications, and engineer presentations.
Findings and remarks 1. We can calculate the feasible crack angle ranges for each εx and vu/f’c combination. θ min corresponds to concrete c...
Optimum crack angle θ From the previous example, we can catch that there are some possible crack angle ranges for the given εx and vu/f’c. N...
Longitudinal reinforcement Believe it or not, longitudinal forces are caused by shear, and we do need to design/check for these longitudinal...
Concrete Shear Equation The concrete shear equation is
This new series of blog articles will introduce a few project applications of midas Civil. You can expect to see the size of the structure, ...
When talking about refined analysis, most engineers might think of using it for complex bridges and bridges that are beyond the range of app...
When we talk about prestressed concrete, the things that we are mostly concerned about are the compressive strength gain with respect to tim...
Continuous post-tensioned bridges are very efficient structures. By eliminating the need for deck joints, this requires less maintenance, wh...
