There is an existing pipe support in a plant as shown in figure. Now I need to run the analysis on both pipes and the support member (A-HSS Tube). How to properly model it so that I can get stresses in support member also. And also how to model when U…

Hello, I want to fill the gap between the beams and the deck by adding haunch,but I don't know what to do. If there are any related tutorials, please share with me. Thanks.

Hi all. In composite steel girder bridges with concrete decks (continuous span bridges), does RM bridge automatically Calculator effective width of deck to calculate short-term and long-term composite cross-sections? best regards.

Hi all. I hava some question about steel composite brige as follows: 1. To calculator stress point of section, Rm Bridge automatic use short-term section for live load and load case type Non-permanent and use long-term section for load case type Permanent…

Hi all, 01. What is the purpose of converting input parameters to equivalent properties in Plaxis 3D and how it goings to influence in the result? 02. Please explain about the axial force calculation based on the following page in reference manual…

I tried to check "DO Not Rotate" at the bottom of the Beam template, the slope of the beam template changed to 0, and True "Use Beam Rotation". But after doing this, the upper part of the beam formwork does tilt along with the bridge deck, but the…

Almost every span is more or less gap

Hi, I am trying to export a csv or excel file where I can see the maximum Dead and Live/Roof live load moments in each beam. I need to obtain them unfactored to post-process them in excel. The table would simply have the beam label, Md and ML. I've been…

Hi, I am modelling a beam with a change of deck along the length of the beam (half of the beam has a W2+3.5" verco deck, and the other half has a W2+2" deck). I read this response: Effects of Changing Deck Type - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD…

Hi ! I would like to ask, if I model a temporary deep excavation using plate elements with one row of temporary steel strut's with cap, should I increase the moment of inertia of the cap according to parallel axis theorem (Steiner)? Standard…

Good morning, I have a question regarding the modeling of piles as a volume-type element in PLAXIS 3D. The axial forces that I obtain using the dummy beam and the "Structural forces in volume piles" tool give me different results, especially for the last…

I am used to the sign convention of SAP2000 but RM Bridge uses a different coordinate system (Axis 3 pointing into 1-2 plane as opposed to out of 1-2 plane in SAP2000). I would like to know the sign convention of start/end force/moment, so that I can…
