2-Span PSC Composite I Girder Bridge
00
Overview
- A two span of 23m long composite bridge consisting of five precast, post tensioned girder beams sp
aced at 3m centers are generated using beam elements with defined construction stages.
- The behavior of the bridge under Static loads, Prestress loads and Moving loads are examined
In this tutorial we will learn the following things;

- How to generate composite sections in midas Civil.
- How to assign static and prestress load in midas Civil.
- How to define moving load as per Eurocode in midas Civil.
- How to define composite section for construction stages in midas Civil.
- How to interpret the tendon losses, forces, stresses represented by midas Civil.
- How to formulate load combinations in midas Civil.
Program Version
Civil 2016 (v1.1)
Revision Date
December, 2015
- How to carry out PSC composite design as per Eurocode in midas Civil.
