# 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).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

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

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
