Deck Construction
Step 1: Click three-dots icon on Pouring Stage cell and select a Construction Stage as Cast1PourStage.
Step 2: As a result of these operations, an issue will appear on the OpenBrIM screen. This does not necessarily mean that any operation was done incorrectly. The issue will be resolved when the deck is define in the next step.
Quick Tip: Learn how to read issues
When encountering the warning as seen in OpenBrIM app, there is a "issue" , it is advised to review the parameters you have provided. This warning suggests that there might be a missing or incorrect parameter in your input. Check inputs to ensure they are accurate and complete.
When a warning is clicked, the reason can be displayed. The warning is expressed in the format of Component Group Name (can be viewed in the treeview) > User Defined Component Name (can be viewed in the spreadsheet name column) > Parameter Name (can be viewed in the spreadsheet column header).
After clicking on 'Superstructure > Connections > Bolted Field Splice' in the tree view, navigate to the Bolt category. Set the Bolt Property input. The issue will be resolved after these steps.
The screenshot demonstrates one example of two Bolted Field Splice components named BFS1 and BFS2 by the user, with parameter names Flange Bolt Property and Web Bolt Property.
Step 3: Click three-dots icon on Hardening Stage cell and select a Construction Stage as Cast123GainStiffStage.
Step 4: Click the three-dots icon on the Deck cell, and then set Deck1.
Step 5: Keep the Start Skew, End Skew, Haunch Load and Self Weight Factor as default.
Step 6: Go to the Longitudinal tab and specify the stations of deck pouring in the longitudinal direction.
Keep the Start Station as default.
Step 7: Enter the End Station as 111.
Step 8: Go to the Transverse tab and specify the stations of deck pouring in the transverse direction. This example includes a complete casting sequence. Therefore, Keep the Transverse Const. Type as Complete (as default).
Step 9: Set name as DeckCasting1.
