Stage 1 Stage 1: Construction of Concrete Box Girder Temporary supports are provided as shown Concrete Box Girder will be modeled as a grillage model Self Weight of the Girder and Piers will be activated Tendon group is not used to activate or deactivate a tendon, it is just used to see the results of a certain number of tendons together. Groups are important because: Only the structure groups, load groups or boundary groups can be activated or deactivated in the construction stages, element number or load case name cannot be used to deactivate. Introduction – Construction Stage DefinitionĬonstruction Stage Analysis – Modeling Features Introduction Flow Chart of Construction Stage Analysis: Modeling of Structure Defining Structure Groups Defining Loads under Load Group Defining Boundary under Boundary Groups Generation of Construction Stages Defining Construction Stage Data Construction Stage Analysis Controlġ.

Construction Sequence may lead to critical force effects which may lead to shear or flexural failure Long Unsupported cantilever sections may induce forces which may be substantially different from those in completed structure: Time Dependent material properties also play a major role in segmental bridge construction Negative Momentsįinal Bridge Profile – Continuous Structure – Lesser Negative Moments at Mid Supportsġ.
