Auto Design and Load Rating

The following items can be checked:

Bending Resistance
Resistance to Vertical Shear
Resistance to Lateral-Torsional Buckling
Resistance to Transverse Force
Resistance to Fatigue

Midas Civil can be used to perform load ratings as per AASHTO LRFR 11, LRFD 05 and CS454/20. Detailed design reports are generated in spread sheets for verifying with hand calculations. Design checks can be performed for strength limit state and service limit state by defining combinations from AASHTO LRFD automatically. A detailed excel report with step by step descriptions of design checks can be generated as well.

Bending strength, shear strength & torsional strength check
Transverse rebars check as well as resistance & factored moment diagrams
Composite plate girder design
Stress check reflecting construction stages
Generation of member forces & stresses for each construction stage and max & min stress summations
Automatic generation of load combinations in accordance with various design codes (combination effects of seismic forces in two orthogonal directions)
