created using either the entire structure or the bridge object of this design request plus an
optional additional group. The user may specify whether or not to automatically calculate
bent-column cracked properties as part of this analysis, and whether or not to include P-
delta effects. Loading will automatically include all load patterns of design type DEAD
and SUPERDEAD. If user-defined, an existing linear or nonlinear static or dynamic load
case must be selected. Cracked section properties will not be automatically calculated in
this case.

iteratively. Section Designer will use the calculated axial force at the top and bottom on
the column to determine the cracked moments of inertia in the positive and negative
transverse and longitudinal directions. The cracked properties will be applied as named
property modifier sets and the analysis re-run to make sure the cracked properties are
converged to within the specified tolerance.

stiffness at the end of the gravity load case if nonlinear, else it will use the stiffness at zero
initial conditions. If user-defined, the user can control the initial stiffness, eigen vs. Ritz,
and other modal parameters. This item is required only if the seismic design category is B,
C or D.

Specifies whether the response-spectrum load case is to be determined by program or

specified by the user. The response-spectrum load case represents the seismic demand. If
program determined, this load case will use the given response-spectrum function and
modal load case. Acceleration load will be applied in the longitudinal and transverse
directions of the bridge object, and combined using the 100% + 30% rule. If user-defined,
the user can control the loading or select the SRSS method of directional combination,
which is invariant to direction. This item is required only if the seismic design category is
B, C or D.

diaphragm constraint assignments at each different Z level among the selected joints. The
Z level is determined in the constraint coordinate system.
The new diaphragms constraint names have a prefix of the original diaphragm name and a
suffix of the elevation. The elevation portion of the name is in the database units for the
model, that is the units in which the model was created.

If a point is created in the graphic interface using either the Draw menu > Add Special

AngleA, AngleB and AngleC define the rotation of the joint local coordinate system
relative to the coordinate system determined from the reference vectors. In the case where

system is next rotated about its resulting +2 axis by AngleB. (3) The local system is lastly
rotated about its resulting +1 axis by AngleC. Note that the order in which these rotations
are performed is important.

Parameter for Compression Resistance. Unitless factor used in the calculation of

compression resistance. Its value should be picked up for the compression curve. Typical
values are 2.24 (SSRC Curve 1), 1.34 (SSRC Curve 2), and 1.00 (SSRC Curve 3). Lower
values are conservative. Its effect is minimal if lambda is close to zero or very large
(lambda > 2.0). See CSA-S16-01/S16S1-05 section 13.3.1 and related commentary.
