1. Plate Beam and Plate Column (1D) Design Method

 Plate elements can now be designed with the same method of designing conventional 1D elements such as Beam or Column as per AASHTO-LRFD12.
 The plate design is performed for defined sub-domain. Member Type are chosen according to the purpose of the design. (e.g. Plate Beam (1D) : Slab Design and Plate
Column (1D) : Abutment / Sidewall Design).
 Rebar Direction for the main rebar and distribution rebar can be defined using Local Coordinate System, UCS or Reference Axis.
 Node/Element > Elements > Define Sub-Domain
Define Domain Define Sub-Domain
If Reference Axis is selected
* Note : This feature is used for the calculation of Wood-Armer mom

ent of specific direction. This will be fixed to default for Plate Design
(Dir.1 = 0 deg, Dir.2 = 90 deg).

1. Plate Beam and Plate Column (1D) Design Method

 The results of plate design can be checked in table format and also both Graphic and Detail report can be outputted.
 Positive/Negative Bending moment capacity, shear capacity and crack checks can be performed and the detail results can be obtained from this function.
 The main target of this function is culvert and abutment. Axial force is not critical when we are designing culvert or abutment. Therefore this feature does not consider
the benefit of axial force in calculation of flexural strength. However the calculation of axial resistance is provided in checking mode.
 Design > RC Design > Plate Beam/Column

Rebar can be inputted using
either Number or CTC method.
The amount of rebar (As)

is shown directly.
Top and Bottom rebar data can be

inputted separately for multiple locations.

2. Plate concurrent forces for Moving Load & Settlement analysis

 Concurrent forces for moving load & settlement analysis are now available for following codes:
[AASHTO Standard, AASHTO LRFD, AASHTO LRFD (PENNDOT), Canada, BS, EUROCODE, Australia, Poland, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean].
 In the previous version, concurrent forces were available only for beam elements. In order to obtain concurrent forces for plate elements, the users needed to convert
moving load case into static load case using Moving Load Tracer. In the new version, by selecting [View by Max Value Item] in the context menu of Plate Forces Table,
concurrent forces can be checked in the result table without converting them into static loads.

5. South African Moving Load

 TMH 7: Part 1&2 provide very specific guidelines for moving load applications, especially based on the influence line theory.
 NA load is applied as nominal distributed lane load and nominal axle load. The loaded length increment for NA vehicle could be controlled by the user for faster or
more accurate analysis.
 NB24 and NB36 vehicles as well as NC vehicle with width provisions of 3m to 5m and an option whether to consider the relieving effects or not is also introduced.
 Besides the standard vehicle, user defined vehicles could also be defined by editing the standard vehicles, or consider a completely different vehicle load by means of a
Permit truck.
 Provision for moving load combination as per the code as well as for special bridges (like multi-level) are implemented and concurrent reactions & forces could also be
obtained.

Example Load Model 1 without ψ factors Example Load Model 1 with ψ factors
* Note : The option will only be available for Moving Load Cases with Ignore Psi Factor checked off. This option to view ψ factors will NOT affect the analysis results
(including exported results using Write Min/Max Load to File) which will include the ψ factors.

11. Improve method of Settlement & Specified Displacement of Supports constraints

 In the previous version, when settlement load cases or specified displacement load were applied to some nodes, the corresponding nodes behaved like fixed support
even for other load cases that did not contain specified displacements. In Civil 2018 (v1.1), only the nodes to which specified displacement load case or settlement load
case are applied will behave like fixed support.
