2-Span PSC Composite I Girder Bridge
Overview
- A two span of 23m long composite bridge consisting of five precast, post tensioned girder beams sp
aced at 3m centers are generated using beam elements with defined construction stages.
- The behavior of the bridge under Static loads, Prestress loads and Moving loads are examined
- How to interpret the tendon losses, forces, stresses represented by midas Civil.

(2) Integral Bridge
• Using the formulation proposed by B.M. Lehane, soil springs can be assigned.
• To account for this characteristic of the soil, lateral springs are modeled as compression-only
springs and vertical springs are modeled as linear elastic springs.

(3) Loads
Self weight
Specified Displacement of Supports
Pressure Load
Temperature Load
System Temperature - for applying the change in temperature to whole structure.
Nodal Temperate – for applying change in temperature to certain nodes.
Element Temperature –for applying change in temperature to certain elements.
Temperature Gradient – for applying change in temperature to beam and plate sections.
Beam Section Temperature – for applying temperature gradient to beam sections (General
Sections and PSC sections).
