Slab Elevation Table [PIG]

For each girder a table for CL of Girdres elevation along spans length can be generted. For the Slab Elevation Table to be generted users can specify the parameters below.

General

Bridge: This parameter can be used to specify the bridge model for which the slab elevation table will be generated.

Use CL of Bearings/Piers [Bearings/Piers/Girder-Pier Intersection]: Selects the reference used to locate span boundaries along the girder. Bearings uses bearing centerlines; Piers uses pier centerlines; Girder-Pier Intersection uses the actual intersection of the girder with each pier support.

Number of Segments per Span: Number of sub-segments per span used to discretize the girder line; more segments produce more table rows and smoother elevation output.

Additional Girder Stations: Optional list of additional girder stations (along the PGL) to include in the table on top of the automatic segment stations.

Ignored Insertion Points for Span Positioning: Insertion points that should be excluded when the algorithm determines span boundaries (useful when a temporary or auxiliary insertion point would otherwise split a span).

In addition to each 0.1L girder, a certain point, which can be determined in terms of transverse location and stations, can be presented in the slab elevation table.

Additional Points Table

Add. Point Trasverse Loc.: Transverse location of additional user-defined reporting points on the slab (offset from PGL).

Add. Point Stations: Station(s) along the longitudinal direction that define the additional reporting points.

Settings

Number of Decimal Points: This input allows users to define the number of decimal points to be displayed.

The Slab Elevation Table includes:

• The location of each displayed result station with respect to the PGL (X-axis station), and

• Elevations of all the girders with respect to the alignment, where negative values indicate a downward direction and positive values indicate an upward direction.
