2. Improvement of steel composite design to AASHTO LRFD 2012

Design > Composite Design > Design Result Tables > Span Checking

Design > Composite Design > Excel Report…

In the previous version, the ‘Span Checking’ table results did not take into account support when defining spans. This is improved in Civil 2016 (v1.1).

By defining Span Information, when a girder is divided into several elements between cross beams, the unbraced lengths of each element are automatically determined based on

the spacing of cross beams, and the design moment of an element is taken as the maximum moment among the elements which are located between the cross beams.

Bending Moments of element 29, 31 and 33

Design Bending Moments of element 31 taken from element 33

When one girder group consisted of two spans, in the previous version, span checking results were provided as if the girder group consisted of one span.

Civil 2016 (v1.1): Span Checking results are provided for two spans.

2. Improvement of steel composite design to AASHTO LRFD 2012 (Bearing stiffener design)

Design > Composite Design > Transverse Stiffener

Bearing stiffeners are required to resist the bearing reactions or other concentrated loads, either in the final state or during construction.

For plate girders, bearing stiffeners are required to be placed on the webs at all bearing locations and at all locations supporting concentrated loads.

Check on the 'Bearing' to define the bearing stiffener of steel composite section selected from the Target Section & Element List.

Effective section properties of class 4 composite cross-section due to plate buckling are provided in a table format after performing design as per EN 1994-2.

These are provided for both composite plate girder and composite box girder.

For the bottom flange of composite box girder under negative moment,

the final reduction factor ρc , which takes into account the interaction

between plate and column buckling is also shown in this table.

In steel-concrete composite beams, due to compatibility conditions, creep and shrinkage of concrete part of the cross-section (concrete slab) results in a redistribution of stresses.

When deformation of shortening happens in the concrete part, the steel part of the cross-section prevents free deformation of concrete. As a result of restrained deformation,

tensile stresses appear in concrete slab, Due to equilibrium, compressive stresses in the steel part of cross-section appear as well. Also, these self-restraint stresses of composite

sections can occur due to nonlinear temperature gradient in the cross-section.

These self-restraint stresses of composite sections can be checked in the Results > Result Tables > Composite Section for C.S. > Self-Constraint Force & Stress.

Stress results obtained from all other menus correspond to the summation of self-restraint stresses and stresses due to external forces which will occur in the indeterminate

structures.

The ‘Self-Constraint Force & Stress’ table will be inactivated if the ‘Self-Constraint Forces and Stresses’ option in the ‘Construction Stage Analysis Control Data’ dialog is checked

off.

midas Civil provides two special features to optimize cable forces for a cable-stayed bridge, i.e. Lack-of-Fit Force and Unknown Load Factor. The required pretension in the cables

during construction can be obtained using one of the above features. The Lack-of-Fit Force function can take into account the effect of large displacement but not creep/shrinkage

effect. The Unknown Load Factor function can take into account the creep/shrinkage effect but not large displacement.

In this version, however, the Unknown Load Factor function is improved to consider both creep/shrinkage effect and large displacement.

In the construction stage analysis with the effect of large displacement, the effects of all the construction stage load cases such as Dead Load, Erection Load, Tendon

Primary/Secondary, Creep Secondary and Shrinkage Secondary will be combined into one load case which is the Summation (CS) load case. In order to perform cable

optimization, the effects of cable tensioning should be separated from the other effects including creep/shrinkage. This can be done by one of the two ways:

1) Create a stage in which only cables are activated and the stage duration is zero and specify the stage as ‘Unknown’ in the Unknown Load Factor function. This needs to be done

for each cable which will be activated at different stages.

2) Save results for ‘Additional Steps’ as well as ‘Stage’ in the Construction Stage dialog and activate cables at the first step of a stage and specify the step as ‘Unknown’ in the

Unknown Load Factor function. This needs to be done for each cable which will be activated at different stages.

6. Improvement in load sequence for nonlinear analysis function In nonlinear analysis, the sequence of applying loads can be defined in Loading Sequence for Nonlinear Analysis. In the previous version, loading sequence was effective only

when Newton-Raphson was selected as Iteration Method. In the new version, loading sequence can be used when Displacement-Control is selected as Iteration Method.

In one model, both Displacement-Control and Newton-Raphson iteration method can be used. It will be useful when Newton-Raphson method is used for dead load and

Displacement-Control method is used for lateral loads.

7. Pushover & time history analysis considering geometric nonlinearity The geometric nonlinear effect due to large displacement can be reflected in pushover analysis and time history analysis.

This option will be extremely useful for spatial structure and specialty structure for which large deformation is expected as well as RC and steel structures with high-ductility in

seismic analysis.

Asymmetrical section can be defined for the composite plate girders using the Steel-I (Type 2) section.

This will be useful when creating exterior girders for the grillage model of the composite girder bridges.

Steel Composite Girder Wizard does not support Steel-I (Type 2) section.

Design of steel composite girder defined with Steel-I (Type 2) section is provided only for SNiP/SP

design codes. As for the Steel-I (Type 1) section, the design to SNiP/SP design code is not supported.

Effective slab width is automatically calculated and considered in the calculation of bending stresses for composite steel plate girder.

Code reference: 5.15 of SNiP 2.05.03-84* and 9.15 of SP 35.13330.2011.

From the section of the girder defined in Span Information, Effective Width automatically calculates the moment of inertia (Iyy) about the y-axis and checks the sectional stresses

reflecting the effective width. A scale factor of the new moment of inertia and neutral axis to the original moment of inertia and neutral axis is created.

This generates the data for Boundary>Effective Width Scale Factor.

Current limitation: Auto-calculation of effective width supports Steel-I type 2 section only.

The effective width scale factors calculated here do not support construction stage analysis.

In the previous versions, one same eccentricity between rail and slab was allowed along the whole bridge.

In Civil 2016 (v1.1), different bridge section types with different eccentricities along the bridge can be

modeled with the Rail Track Analysis Model wizard.

For the design of continuous welded rail by performing rail-structure interaction, the maximum axial stress in the rail and the maximum relative displacement of the expansion joints

between decks due to moving train loads should be limited.

RTAM wizard generates many model files depending on the location of trains specified by the user.

In the previous versions, the node / element numbers did not matching between model files generated by the wizard, which made it difficult for the user to handle the results

obtained from each model file.

In Civil 2016 (v1.1), this is improved by assigning identical node / element numbers between model files generated by the wizard.

based on the initial jacking force defined in Tendon Prestress Load. For the long-term relaxation loss, the program assumes the relaxation is constant after the final relaxation rate

defined by the user. It will be very useful to apply various national standard of tendon relaxation.

User defined relaxation can be entered by relaxation rate and hour/day relation. It can be entered by copy and paste from MS Excel or import in *.TDM file.
