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.

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…

Hello, I am generating a 3D bridge model using OpenBridge Modeler. The bridge has a mainlane alignment and a ramp alignment present. The bridge width is defined by constant offsets to the mainlane alignment for most of its length, however the ramp alignment…

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…

Brazilian engineers use to do bridge decks with a prefabricated concrete (this eliminate most of formwork for the deck, and increase the productivity) this peaces are simply supported by the I Girder beams (See the image). It is possible to do sometihng…

I'm creating a 15 span prestressed girder bridge in OpenBridge Modeler. I need to add a neoprene strip seal joint every 3 spans or so. Can I modify the continuous deck object to add these components? Alternatively, splitting the deck object into multiple…

Hi, I modelled a deck and used an alignment for point control, I was able to do it but I noticed that OBM is programmed to model a deck using bspline curves so even if you don't have a curve in your alignment, it will still model a deck with a curve…

Hello there. In OpenBridge 2022 R1，I would like to place a barrier along P_4 point of the deck.But when placed,barrier can't follow P_4 point finally.It seems the work point of barrier always recognizes the upper surface of deck,just like following pictures…

I am trying to model a bridge that has two abutments and five piers. I have two beam groups (one with 7 beams and the next with 8) that changes at the middle pier. At this point I need the deck to have a gap 20" wide, which is filled with a joint filler…

Hey guys I've just created a basic hull shape but got a little confused when trying to add a deck on top. I've imported my GA sketch in the profile view and have a rough idea of putting the deck 0.8 above my zero point (dashed line) but don't know…

I use SACS v14 and I would like to verify the deck of a vessel with the SACS Plate Panel Check. I would like to consider the code ABS Buckling Guide mainly, but I am insterested also in the other two available API Bulletin 2V and DNV-RP-C201. The deck…

Hi everyone, I finished model and analyzer in extradosed bridge ( pictures below are my cross section and internal force ) I want to see the reults of deck (I nternal force of deck , Influence lines of deck , Ultimate load check of deck,...), Can…

hello I am a student and I use maxsurf in my graduation project, my question is why in maxsurf structure when I want to add longitudinals stiffeners I must apply it to a surface which is defined in maxsurf modeler while I cannot apply it to decks that…

Does anybody know how the finishing machine loads are modeled during the deck placement sequence? The dialogue asks for the weight of the machine but I don't know if it distributes it over an area, the whole width of the bridge (like a screed machine…

How does one set up a deck slab template when the profile is not located at the alignment? In my case the cross-sectional shape of the deck is shaped like a simple gable roof but the grade line is not located at the peak (where the alignment is) but rather…

Hello, Camber and deflections are reported at 10th points along the beam. I am modelling a longer span which will require more than 10 screed points. Is there a way to toggle the number of points? Or do I have to interpolate? Thanks,

Is there any way to allow the Top face of the slab to follow the curvature of the alignment (horizontal and vertical), but for the Soffit of the slab to remain level (horizontal, but vertical is fixed). Or for the slab to be placed to follow the horizontal…

The newest version of RAM SS 15.05 now has unique stiffness modification factors for each deck direction for materials such as corrugated roof deck. However, I haven't found diagram, or example explaining what the factors "f11", "f22", "f12", "m11", …

Hi, Here in Australia we would like to use AECOsim to model bridges (for it's building information data properties): - Precast concrete bridge girders - Cast in situ concrete deck slabs Currently we model a bridge in 3D using general Microstation…
