Foundation Construction (Complete)
This section defines the foundation construction stage.
Overview
The design process of steel girder bridges typically involves modeling the construction of pier caps, pier columns, foundations, and piles as a single stage to streamline the analysis and reduce the number of required stages. However, in real-world construction, these components may be constructed separately over multiple stages, depending on factors such as site conditions, available resources, and project schedule. OpenBrIM offers features that allow users to model these details with various stages and time-dependent staged construction analysis.
