Is presented below the Rating Factor calculation done in OBD / RM Bridge for a two spans composite steel bridge with a central pier. Bridge Modelling done in OBM and calculation performed in RM on a complete model in OBD. Table of Contents: A…

RM > Modeler definition of slender parts in cross-section. Cross-Sections – Slender Parts: Required for the local buckling. Reference Set – Steel Slender part type Start point = free point Line point = restraint point Subtype of slender…

RM > Analyzer > UltRes schedule action for capacity design of composite steel bridges. Steel Design checks performed with: UltRes – design resistance ResChk – proof check (interaction formulas) Design of Composite Steel Bridge - Video

Composite bridges with continuous steel girders and concrete reinforced slabs are commonly designed. Because there is a massive difference in the material's stress capacity in tension, considering tensile zones in the reinforced concrete components is…

In OBD CE 2021 Release 2 and RM Bridge v11.13, was implemented the Plot element cross-sections for ultimate capacities using different types of force component selections namely: Total: Normal, Total: Split and, Total: Join . Join results Split…

In OBD CE 2021 Release 2 and RM Bridge v11.13, was implemented the Ultimate Check Capacity using different types of force component selections namely: Total: Normal, Total: Split and, Total: Join . The non-composite cross-section defaults to the Total…

In RM Bridge Enterprise > Modeler > Cross sections, the User can define the finite shell elements in the deck slab. The User can edit shell elements for assigning variables to slab thickness, if desired and review the information introduced. In…

In RM Bridge Enterprise > Analyzer, were defined the several Construction Stages considered in the bridge built and until the composite is activate (before concrete slab is hardened). Presented below the different construction stages calculated. STG01…

In RM Bridge Enterprise > Modeler, was defined the completely geometry for an Integral Steel Composite Bridge. In this video series, it is presented the structural analysis and design for this type of bridges. The deck cross-section is defined with…
