Agenda
  • 7th March 2025 (Fri)

    Analysis & Design of 2-span PSC Composite I Girder Bridge using midas CIVIL NX 1) Modelling 2-span PSC Composite I girder bridge using Prestressed Composite Wizard with the below configurations
    - Continuous girders
    - Simply supported girders with link slab
    2) Application of moving load as per Eurocode
    3) Group Pile Plug-in to model pile cap and piles
    4) Breakdown Load Combination Plug-in to identify the critical load combination in an envelope load combination and the corresponding load cases
    5) Load Effect for LC Plug-in to find the critical factored load cases within any selected load combination
    6) Prestressed Section Design using General Section Designer (GSD)
    7) Retrofitted Column Design with different material properties using GSD
    8) M-Connector Add-in to seamlessly export result tables and diagrams from Civil NX to Excel
    9) Perform PSC Composite I girder design as per Eurocode and generate design reports
