  • Thermal cyclic loads

    I'm attempting to simulate how thermal loads may affect the backfill behind an integral abutment by deploying PLAXIS 2D. I modelled the concrete bridge deck as a Linear Plate element and included a prescribed displacement near the top of the abutment…

    Only model one outer slab edge. Inside this all-encompassing slab edge, model 2 deck areas, one for each slope. Snap the deck areas to the beam line along the ridge (and along the perimeter beams). If you see the deck shooting out into space in 3D, it…
