This section defines F-shape concrete barriers on both sides of the bridge deck.
Navigation: Superstructure Attachments > F Shape Barrier
For detailed parameter explanations, see the F Shape Barrier Reference.
Navigate to Superstructure Attachments > F Shape Barrier in the tree view.
Define barriers on both left and right sides of the deck:
Click the three-dots icon on Deck cell
Set Deck1 for both barrier entries
Select the Orientation for each barrier (Left or Right side).
Set the concrete Material to Fc_4ksi for both barriers.
Enter the Start Transverse Offset and End Transverse Offset values.
Offset values use the PGL (Profile Grade Line) as the reference point.
Navigate to the Dimension tab and enter the F Shape Barrier dimension parameters.
Barriers are included in the FE model to distribute wind forces across the structure.
The completed F Shape Barriers are shown below.
