Include Wet concrete Load If the wet concrete load ( in the case of Cast-in-situ ) is to Be considered for the analysis. When type 2 is selected the user must define the section as the PSC section in the Section definition of midas Civil. Type 1 and Type 2: If the default section is to be used for the modeling then Type 1 can be used but if the database section is to be used for modeling then Type 2 can be used. the age when the elements would become the structural Component of the bridge. Member Age: Here you can define the activation age of the elements i.e. If we define the time delay between the construction of pier 2 as 60 days, it means that pier 2 and the Corresponding elements ( zones ) are constructed 60 days after. Pier Table Placing: Here the construction delay between the piers can be defined, which would be responsible for varying time dependent effects on the structure. Advanced option: If the balanced cantilever bridge has different zone profile on different piers the it can be defined in the advanced option the profile of the bridge on the left and the right side of the pier can be defined. Zones: Here the zones of the balanced cantilever bridge i.e. Here the FSM which is generally constructed as a part of balanced cantilever construction can be defined on the left and the right of the balanced cantilever construction Advanced option: Here the length of the key segment as well the elements straight ( constant depth ) to the Left and right can be defined. Key Segment: The length of the key segment can be defined. Pier Table: Advanced option: In the advanced option of the Pier table you can define the type of diaphragm as Single Diaphragm or double diaphragm and various parameters associated with them. Number of Piers: Define the number of piers Radius: Define the radius of the circle if the bridge is horizontally curved Pier Section: Define the section for the Pier Stage Duration: stage duration for the construction of the balanced cantilever bridge Method: Define the method of construction as Cast – in Situ or precast sections FCM Bridge Wizard Model -> Structure Wizard -> FCM Bridge FCM Bridge Wizard Construction Sequence of FCM Bridge :ģ. Other types of bridges should be modeled by general modeling processģ. **Wizard can be applied to the bridge which is constructed through the typical construction process.

Modeling of the bridge will be done by : General Procedure FSM wizard FCM wizard ( Balanced Cantilever Bridge ) Modeling Features Modeling of Bridge can be done in Midas Civil by: General Modeling Procedure Using wizards Introduction Balanced Cantilever (FCM) BridgeĢ. Midas Civil Prestressed Box Girder Bridge ( FCM, FSM)ġ.
