Precast-prestressed Girder Bridges
|
Strand positions can be generated by specifying the coordinates of a starting and ending strand position and the number of strands to generate in horizontal and vertical rows. Strand positions can also be generated by specifying the coordinates of a single strand, the horizontal and vertical spacing, and the number of strands to generate in horizontal and vertical rows.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Strand Type | Select the type of strand to be generated |
Layout Type | Select the strand position layout type. Strands can be laid out by a start point and a horizontal and vertical spacing or by a start and end point |
Fill Sequence | Select the strand fill sequence. Strands can be ordered sequentially from the starting strand position. Strands can also be ordered by skipping every other position in a row. For a sequential fill sequence strands will be ordered 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. (even numbered strands will be on the left side of the vertical axis of the girder). For a skipped fill sequence, strands will be ordered 1, 5, 3, 7, etc. (again, even number strands will be on the left side of the vertical axis of the girder). |
Delete Previously Defined Strands | Check this box to delete previously defined strands. |
Straight Strands | Enter the X and Y position of the starting strand. |
Harped Strands at End | Enter the X and Y position of the ending strand or the horizontal and vertical strand spacing |
Harped Strands at Harping Point | Enter the number of strands in a horizontal row on the right hand side of the vertical centerline of the girder and the number of strands in vertical columns. |
