Bridge Geometry

This section defines the geometric layout of the Steel Tub Girder Bridge including alignment, supports, and girder positions.

Navigation: Bridge Geometry

Overview

Bridge geometry establishes the spatial framework for the entire model:

• Roadway Alignment: Horizontal, vertical, and transverse geometry

• Bridge Alignment: Associates alignment with the bridge

• Support Lines: Defines abutment and pier locations

• Insertion Points: Positions for girder placement

• Girder Layout: Connects insertion points to define girder paths

Sections

Section	Description
Roadway Alignment	Define horizontal curves, grades, and cross-sections
Bridge Alignment	Assign alignment to bridge
Support Lines	Define abutment and pier stations
Insertion Point	Position girders on support lines
Girder Layout	Connect insertion points for girder paths
