02 Modeling Methodologies Steel Composite I-girder Design as per CSA-S6-14

A. Sequential Analysis + Accurate time dependent material


2. Modeling Methodologies
This modeling methodology is helpful when you want to have the Construction Stages
along with accurate Time Dependent Material definition. The important steps for such
midas Civil provides three methods by
modeling method are mentioned below.
which the initial modelling can be done.
These methods are just to consider Go to Properties > Time Dependent Material > Creep/Shrinkage
different types of analysis cases. They
have no effect on the design Define the time dependent material properties for considering creep and shrinkage
methodology. Thus, through the construction stages.
irrespective of the method you choose,
Go to Load > Construction Stage > Define C.S. and Composite Section For C.S.
the design procedure followed by the
software will be same. Define the Construction stages and composite section for construction stage.

different materials. Thus, create three erection load cases, i.e. one for concrete, one for
Analysis non-structural component and one for wearing surface. Refer to the image 2-1.

Note: Load cases to be used for erection load case are:


D_Conc: Dead load of concrete, load factor = 1.2
D_NS: Dead load of component, load factor = 1.2
D_WS: Wearing surface load, load factor = 1.5

Dead Load(CS) will be used for the dead load of steel whose load factor is 1.1.

Step

02 Modeling Methodologies Steel Composite I-girder Design as per CSA-S6-14

Go to Results > Load Combinations > Composite Steel Girder Design

You can manually add the load combinations or choose to auto-


generate the load combinations as per CSA-S6-14.

Note: Auto Generation of load combination does not differentiate


between dead load of steel and dead load of concrete. When you
choose to Auto-generate the load combination, the software uses the
load factor of 1.2 for both dead load of steel and concrete in the ULS
combinations. Thus, the load factor for dead load of steel, Dead
Load(CS) should be modified to 1.1 by the user. Refer to Image 2-2.
Image 2-1. Construction Stage Analysis Control
Note: Auto Generation of load combination does not differentiate
moving load case for fatigue. Thus, fatigue load combination should be
modified by the user so that the moving load case for fatigue can be
included in the load combination.

Note: Software distinguishes the pre-composite, short-term and long-


term loads from the construction stage definition.

After you click OK for the composite section definition, the Image 2-3. Composite
software automatically generates Section Stiffness Scale Factors Section Data
in discrete boundary groups. These factors take into account the
varying section properties for the composite sections. Refer to
the image 2-4.

Go to Load > Construction Stage

stages. OR

C. Composite Action w/o Sequential Analysis

This modeling methodology is helpful when you don’t have


Construction Stages defined. The long term effect
consideration in the section data using modular ratio is same
as that in methodology B. The important steps for such
modeling method are mentioned below.

Go to Load > Settlement/Misc. > Pre-composite Section

Select the static load cases which are to be considered before Image 2-6. Load Cases for

Image 2-7. Boundary Change Assignment

Assign the boundary groups representing the section stiffness


scale factor, to the after composite static load cases i.e. D_NC
and D_WS. Refer to image 2-7.
Note: Modeling method B is demonstrated through this tutorial.

Note: All the static load cases selected in “Load Cases for Pre-
Composite Section” are considered as Dead(Before) and use
steel only section properties. Load cases assigned with section
stiffness scale factor boundary groups through Boundary
Change Assignment are considered as permanent loads and
use long-term composite section properties. All the remaining
static load cases are considered as temporary loads and use
short-term composite section properties.

03 Composite Girder Design Steel Composite I-girder Design as per CSA-S6-14

Composite Design

Composite bridge is one where a reinforced concrete deck slab sits on top of steel I-beams, and acts compositely with
them in bending.

Preliminary sizing is part of the concept design, and is often based on crude estimations of load distribution, and
resulting bending moments and shear forces. However, for steel composite highway bridges, preliminary design
charts are available to facilitate far more accurate initial girder sizes.

Detailed design is effectively design verification to the CSA-S6-14, which is more of a checking process than original
creative design. Modelling and analysis is carried out for the selected structural arrangement for the various loading
conditions (including fatigue) taking full account of any curvature and skew. The adequacy of the main members
(composite beams, box girders etc.) is then checked in detail to ensure that they are adequate to carry the applied
moments and forces. Details such as shear connector and stiffener sizes, are chosen at this stage to suit the global
actions of the main members.

A. Elastic Modulus Ratio

You can manually define the effective width scale


factors to consider the long term effects like creep
and shrinkage for the composite sections or use
the Section Data Dialog Box to automatically
define the Section Stiffness Scale Factors to
consider the same. In this tutorial we will use
Section Data Dialog Box.

D. Modify Construction Stage


Section Stiffness Scale Factors need to be activated in the
stage when the composite action begins. Composite action for
both the composite sections starts in Construction Stage 3.
Thus these stiffness scale factors should be activated in this
stage.

E. Define Construction Stage Analysis Control


Dead load of steel, concrete, non-structural components and wearing surface
have different load factors. Dead Load(CS) is used for the dead load of steel.
Thus, Dead load of concrete, non-structural components and wearing surface
should be separated from Dead Load(CS). This is done by defining D_Conc,
D_NS and D_WS as erection loads in the construction stage analysis control.

F. Generate Load Combinations

Auto Generation of load combination does not differentiate between dead load of steel
and dead load of concrete. When you choose to Auto-generate the load combination,
the software uses the load factor of 1.2 for both dead load of steel and concrete in the
ULS combinations. Thus, the load factor for dead load of steel or Dead Load(CS)
should be modified to 1.1 by the user.

Auto Generation of load combination does not differentiate moving load case for
fatigue. Thus, load combinations should be modified accordingly by the user.

We will use just one ULS, one SLS and one FLS load combination.

Delete scLCB2 through scLCB8, scLCB 10, scLCB 11. Refer to Image 3-13.
