Construction Stage Analysis

A specific construction stage pertaining to a structural model can be exported as a final stage. With this option, users can perform time history, seismic or moving load analyses at various stages of construction.   0bd9c090-6322-4478-91e6-2eabdc829a6b

The stage tree provides a systematic outline of the entire construction sequence defined for a model. Data defined for a specific construction stage can be readily modified. 

Any construction stage can be easily deleted, or new stages can be inserted. The order of construction stages can also be revised. 

The works tree allows you to systematically check and revise the structure and loading conditions for each construction stage.

  3df890bc-325b-46d1-9fac-342037266bb7

Define each stage based on sequential structural changes reflecting erection and dismantlement of temporary structures, varying boundary conditions, etc.

Define timing steps representing the timing of loading and unloading specific load cases within a given construction stage, without any change in structure

  3080d6ff-e059-4c7f-85b0-d0d49bad4500

The construction stage analysis feature allows the user to specify activation and removal of elements with varying maturities, changes with boundary conditions and changes with loadings during the construction sequence. As such, construction stage analysis reflects the erection and dismantlement of temporary structures, complex bridge analysis, construction stage analysis of PSC box bridges reflecting temporary structures, and heat of hydration analysis based on the concrete pour sequence.

Moving Load Analysis

midas Civil genera automáticamente un modelo de análisis transversal a partir del modelo de análisis global. Al seleccionar un punto en la dirección principal, el wizard genera un modelo de marco bidimensional, que intersecta el punto, generando las propiedades de la sección para el análisis. Además de las propiedades de la sección geométrica, el usuario también puede asignar cargas (ej. Cargas muertas, cargas vivas, etc.), tendones y refuerzos.

El trazador de cargas móviles determina la ubicación de una carga en movimiento que impone las fuerzas máximas de los miembros. Las fuerzas y tensiones en los miembros de la viga que resultan de análisis detallados de elementos individuales se pueden verificar con diagramas de viga. Con los modelos de placa, la suma de la fuerza de dirección local combina las fuerzas nodales de la placa o elementos sólidos y calcula las fuerzas de los miembros en las posiciones especificadas.

Analysis of Composite Girder Bridge

midas Civil provides various features for composite girder bridge design where it is important to check the member forces for both before and after composite actions. This eliminates the need to managing two different analysis models and results.

Composite section can be easily defined with built-in DB or User defined section. The real benefit of composite section is that we don’t have to create two model files to represent two stages before composite and after composite action.

Analysis of Composite Girder Bridge

Overview 

The prime concern in integral bridges is the effects of temperature variations on the deformation of bridge deck. Expansion and contraction of the bridge deck affects the backfill soil adjacent to the abutments. Backfill compaction due to deck expansion and soil slide due to a deck contraction is repeated. Due to the repeated backfill compaction and soil slide, the modulus of subgrade reaction and the pressure distribution of backfill vary with depth. 

For this, Midas Civil provides Multi-linear type point spring support. Also the program can automatically calculate the soil stiffness by entering the required data such as soil type and subgrade reaction.

Analysis of PSC Box Bridge

Production of maximum stresses at the left/right sides on a transverse cross section of a curved bridge.

Production of member forces of the structure when the maximum force due to a moving load is applied.

Production of various diagrams (member forces, stresses, displacements, reactions, etc.) for reviewing analysis results for each construction stage (stages & time steps)Provision of animations of analysis results for each construction stage.

Output of detail analysis results of a particular section.

Report on prestress losses due to curvature and time variation.

Tendons can be defined at any location and checked with transverse cross sections.

Short-term prestress losses are considered for the effects of anchor slippage of tendons, friction between tendons and sheaths, and elastic concrete shortening.

Long-term prestress losses are considered for the effects of creep, shrinkage and relaxation of tendons.

Variation of prestresses in tendons are considered for the effects of loading and temperature changes.

midas Civil provides standardized PSC box sections for PSC box girder bridges for easy and practical modeling and analysis.
Where variable sections exist in a member, within a FCM bridge for example, section properties are automatically calculated upon defining the end sections, and the rate of curvature.
Longitudinal & transverse variable sections can be specified.
When automatically generated variable section data are partially modified, the related sections are automatically updated in the model.
Effective widths are automatically calculated as per design codes and subsequently applied to analysis.
