PGSuper supports three methods of structural analysis.
Use the drop down list to select a method of structural analysis.
Method | Description |
---|---|
Simple Span | Girders are assumed to be simple spans regardless of the connection boundary conditions |
Simple Spans made Continuous | Girders are treated as simple spans until they are made continuous. Continuity can be achieved before or after deck placement as specified in the connection boundary conditions. |
Envelope of Simple Span and Simple Spans made Continuous | Both of the previous analysis methods are used and their results enveloped. The controlling values are used. |
NOTE: The connection boundary conditions are defined as part of a bridge pier. See Bridge Modeling of the User Guide for details.
