Recently there has been a shift in South Africa towards construction of more integral bridges. There are several reasons to use integral bridges - better durability, lower maintenance and cost savings over comparable jointed bridges.
MIDAS Civil is capable of handling modeling of Integral bridges with ease and perform soil-structure interaction along with consideration of the effect of soil pressure on the bridge and abutments. This webinar will walk us through the basic considerations required for modeling, analyzing Integral Bridges and will discuss such topics as:
| - |
The effects of temperature variations on the deformation of bridge deck. |
| - |
Expansion and contraction of the bridge deck affects the backfill soil adjacent to the abutments. |
| - |
Automatically calculate the soil stiffness (Multi-linear type point spring support) by entering the required data such as soil type & subgrade reaction. |
