# Diaphragm Construction (Partial) \[PIG]

Since continuity diaphragms may need to be constructed partially, the related definition can be done using this library object.

**Stage:** Specify the stage at which the defined part of the continuity diaphragm will be constructed.

**Diaphragm:** Specify the related diaphragm.

**Cut Station Station (From Right):** The distance from the right edge of the diaphragm can be specified using this parameter.

**Const. Direction \[Left/Right]:** Specify whether the diaphragm will be constructed starting from the right or left side up to the cut station.

**End Diaphragms Construction Method \[Weight Only / Stiffness Only / Weight and Stiffness]:** This parameter can be used to specify whether the diaphragms will be constructed with only weight loads applied, only stiffness considered, or both taken into account for finite element analysis (FEA).

**Self Weight Factor:** The Self-Weight Factor is a parameter used to adjust the contribution of a diaphragm's own weight to the overall structural load calculations. This factor allows for the scaling or modification of the diaphragm's self-weight in finite element analysis (FEA).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/precast-i-girder-bridge-workflow/construction-pig/superstructure-construction-pig/diaphragm-construction-partial-pig.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
