Steel I Girder Code Check (AASHTO)
Steel I Girder Code Check (AASHTO)
Step 1: Click the three-dots icon on the Girder cell, and then set G1.
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 code check template 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: Enter the Station as 260.
Step 4: Click the three-dots icon on the Code Check Template cell, and then set SuperstrCCT.
Step 5: Keep the Panel Type and Modelar Ratio Comp. Method as default.
Step 6: Enter the Modular Ratio as 7.5639**.**
Step 7: You can edit the Deck Reinforcement parameters of Steel I Girder Code Check from Deck Reinforcement tab.
Click the three-dots icon on the Input Data Preference cell, and then set Override Deck Rebar.
Enter the Lumped Top Reinforcement Area within the Effective Width as 7.893.
Enter the Distance from the CL of Top Bars to the Top of the Deck as 3.
Enter the Lumped Bottom Reinforcement Area within the Effective Width as 3.947.
Enter the Distance from the CL of Bottom Bars to the Bottom of the Deck as 3.
Click the three-dots icon on the Deck Rebar Material cell, and then set A615_60.
Enter the Concrete creep adjustment factor as 3.
Step 8: Set name as G1Span.
