Define general information about the span.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Span Length | Enter the span length measured along the alignment between the abutment/pier lines at either end of the span. |
The length of the span is changed by moving all the up-station piers.
Define the slab offset for the span.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Type | Click on the combo box to define the slab offset for the entire bridge or only for this span. |
Start | Slab offset at the start of the span |
End | Slab offset at the end of the span |
If the slab offset is defined by span and you click the combo box to change the slab offset to be a single value for the entire bridge: the slab offset defined for this span will be applied to the entire bridge. If the start and end slab offsets are different, you will be prompted to select one value.
Enter the excess camber that is used to define the parabolic haunch depth used for computing composite section properties and/or haunch dead load. Note that this option is only available if the parabolic option is selected for computing composite section properties or haunch loading in the current Project Criteria library entry.
Refer to the Slab Haunch loading section of Structural Analysis Models for more information. Refer to Section Properties in the Technical Guide for detailed information about haunch depth is used when computing composite section properties.
The first and last span can be defined as cantilever spans.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Start of Span | When checked, there is a cantilever at the start of the span. Enter the length of the cantilever, measured along the alignment. |
End of Span | When checked, there is a cantilever at the end of the span. Enter the length of the cantilever, measured along the alignment. |
