midas Civil Special Lecture
The presentation is on "Practical Design aspects of Balanced Cantilever Bridges". Starting from how to decide on the Span configuration - General Arrangement, correlating the software modelling with the practical considerations followed by analysis and results interpretation. The primary focus of the discussion would be on application & profiling of Prestress and the steps involved in performing the Construction Stage Analysis of the bridge. This lecture also aims at gaining an insight on how to consider the Cross sections, construction sequence (spans stitching sequence)and effective way of controlling the camber.

MIDAS TECH CHAT is a new technical program that aims to help engineers gain technical insights in applying finite element method in structural design and analysis projects. Every month, we will host a special lecture, in which one of our special expert will share his professional knowledge and how he overcomes the design and analysis difficulties with FEM software in the project. It's a good opportunity for you to gain technical insights in different specialized fields, as well as applying finite element method in structural/geotechnical design and analysis projects.

midas Civil is an advanced bridge Engineering software and is capable of handling all types of bridges with ease. The program has several specialized features and wizards for PSC Segmental bridges, Steel Composite 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.
