Girder Elevation Table [SIG]

The Girder Elevation Table report documents the flange plate geometry and field splice locations for each girder in the bridge. It consists of a reference elevation drawing and two tables: the Girder Flange Plate table and the Span and Splice Locations table.

Reference Elevation Drawing

The drawing shows a side elevation of the reference girder with all section change stations, field splice locations, and bearing points labeled. Dimension lines indicate segment lengths along the girder.

• C dimensions mark the boundaries of each flange plate section change station along the girder length.

• A dimensions show the distances between consecutive field splice stations, measured along the girder alignment.

• B dimensions show the span lengths between bearing points.

Girder Flange Plate Table

Each column group C1, C2, C3, ... corresponds to one section change station segment along the girder. For each segment, the table lists:

• Top Flange — thickness × width of the top flange plate at the mid-station of that segment.

• Bottom Flange — thickness × width of the bottom flange plate at the mid-station of that segment.

• Length — the length of the segment measured along the girder alignment.

The number of C columns is determined by the parameter with the most section change stations among the six flange and web parameters (top flange width, top flange thickness, web depth, web thickness, bottom flange width, bottom flange thickness). For consistent output across all girders, the section change station counts for each parameter should be equal across all girders in the bridge.

Span and Splice Locations Table

• A columns (A1, A2, ...) — distances between consecutive field splice stations for each girder, measured along the girder alignment. Each girder uses its own splice station list, so A column lengths may differ across girders in skewed bridges.

• B columns (B1, B2, ...) — span lengths between consecutive bearing points, measured along the girder alignment.
