 Segmental concrete bridge technology describes a method of joining numerous cast-in-place or precast bridge elements to form a continuous span. The technique was first used in Europe in the 1950s and began to catch the attention worldwide. It is now an increasingly popular solution to the engineering challenges posed by deep valley crossings and those in sensitive environments or over wide spans of water.
There are, however many complexities involved with Segmental bridges, such as:
1. Consideration of complexity in modeling and defining Construction stages.
2. Calculation of tendon losses and time dependent effects.
3. Camber control which can cause erection problems at site.
4. Complex Design code considerations and Design Optimization.
midas Civil is an advanced bridge Engineering software and is capable of handling Segmental bridges with ease. The program has several specialized features and wizards for PSC Segmental bridges which can simulate staged segmental construction and time dependent behavior of structures. In addition, the quick modeling functions, up-to-date design code database and excellent report generation tools of midas Civil allow bridge engineers to work more efficiently and cost-effectively.
