The session walks through a complete workflow for integral bridges using UHPC girders — from material setup to staged construction analysis. You'll learn how to model ultra-high-performance concrete (≥140 MPa), import custom CAD sections, and capture the structural behavior transition from simply supported to integral. Key takeaways include correctly interpreting staged displacement results and applying earth pressure accurately using superposition. A practical, engineer-focused guide for anyone working on real-world integral bridge design and staged load analysis.
