Segmental Girder [CBS]

The Segmental Girder models one segment of a concrete segmental box girder, placed along a girder layout between a start and an end station. A run of these segments, erected in sequence and stressed together by tendons, makes up the superstructure.

Girder Parameters

Girder Layout: The girder layout line this segment is placed along.

Start Station: Station along the layout line where the segment begins (default: 0).

End Station: Station along the layout line where the segment ends (default: 120).

Section: Cross-section assigned to the segment.

Segment Length: Length of the segment, derived from its start and end stations.

FEA

Supports: Insertion points or supports the segment is carried on in the analytical model.

Additional Break Points List: Extra break points inserted into the segment's finite-element discretization.

# of Result Extraction St.: Number of stations along the segment at which composite analysis results are extracted (default: 1).

Expansion joint end releases: Table of end releases applied at expansion joints on the segment.

Rigid Section: Section used for the rigid links that connect the segment to its supports.

Number of mesh (minimum): Minimum number of finite elements the segment is divided into (default: 1).

Reinforcement

Show [Yes=1/No=0]: When Yes, the reinforcement is drawn in the 3D view (default: No=0).

Longitudinal Reinforcement Data: Table of longitudinal reinforcement rows in the segment.

Shear Reinforcement Data: Table of shear (stirrup) reinforcement rows in the segment.

Visual Settings

Girder Opacity: Opacity used when drawing the segment in the 3D view (default: 0.7).

Reinforcement Opacity: Opacity used when drawing the reinforcement (default: 1).

Circular Smoothness: Number of facets used to draw circular features of the section (default: 6).
