Analysis & Design
Civil 2016 Analysis & Design Civil 2016 (v2.1) Release Note
1. Material Nonlinear Analysis available for Beam elements

 Stress resultant beam model is introduced to apply beam elements in the material nonlinear analysis. In cases of nonlinear stability
analysis for U-frame steel bridges, both beam elements and plate elements were used to represent cross beams and main girders,
and previous version could not analyze this type of model
 Feature availability
‒ Non-composite steel section is only supported. (Channel, I-Section, T-Section, Box, Pipe, Rectangle, Round section only.)
‒ Von Mises material property only
‒ Linear elastic / perfectly plastic (Zero hardening) stress-strain curve
‒ Plastic axial force and bending moment about minor axis only calculated
‒ Coupled effect between axial force and moment not considered
Material Nonlinear Analysis available for Plate elements

 Algorithm of material nonlinear analysis of a layer of plate element is updated from 3-dimensional condition base to plane stress
condition base. Assumption of previous algorithm had some restrain on the in-plane deformation in a layer, which stiffness of a layer
was overestimated in the previous version.
 Due to this change, the results of material nonlinear analysis in this version may be a bit different from the previous versions
depending on the model.
Previous version : 3-dimensional base Updated version : plane stress base

2. Improvement on Moving Load Analysis

 Adjusting the number of multi processor for Sparse Gaussian solver now affects Moving Load Analysis speed
Analysis > Analysis Options > Multi Frontal Sparse Gaussian

2. Improvement on Moving Load Analysis (Continued)

 Traffic lane optimization feature is now available for Eurocode and UK code.
 Traffic lane optimization enables locating the assigned vehicle load at both edge of defined moving lane which provides
more possibilities in worst case loading scenario for analysis result.

3. Triple Friction Pendulum Isolator

 The Triple Friction Pendulum Isolator (TFPI) is newly introduced. Correct replication of unique characteristic of TFPI in software will
broaden our user’s program application boundary and modeling ability against seismic load cases.
 Here are special properties of TFPI
‒ Bearing properties of three pendulums are sequentially active at different earthquake strengths
‒ Stronger ground motion leads to increase in bearing displacement.
Greater bearing displacement increases effective length and damping, which reduces seismic force and total displacement.

4. Tendon Location for Composite Section

 In previous definition of section property for prestressed composite girders, program automatically assumed that tendons are
located at Part 1, girder, of Composite section, which was not always true depending on the design codes. In new version, option is
added for users to specify the part of composite section where tendon profile is passing.
 If nothing is specified, program will assume that tendon profiles pass through Part 1, which is the general case for pretensioned
girders.

version, Composite I, T, and PSC section properties became available. User can easily define / modify Concrete
composite sections for design check.

4. Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties

 Warping DOF was newly introduced in Civil 2016 release. In order to calculate the Warping constant, new
methodology of calculating section property through internally generated mesh was introduced. However, there
were errors in mesh generation, which lead to wrong section property calculation.
 Followings are common example of reported cases.
Error: The inside of longitudinal stiffeners was filled.
Error: When neutral axis was located within the slab, the inside of steel box was filled.

Improvement on the calculation of Section Properties (Continued)

 All the problems described in the previous slide are fixed and enhanced in the new version, Civil 2016 (v2.1).

 There is no change in the calculation of the torsional constant of the Composite Steel-I, Composite-I section type in the
new version, Civil 2016 (v2.1). It is calculated as follows:
 Important notice:
1) Section properties can be different between previous version and new version.
2) Section properties calculated in the previous versions will not automatically be recalculated by just opening a model file
(mcb format) in the new version, Civil 2016 (v2.1). It will be recalculated only when hitting the ‘Show Calculation Results’
button or the ‘OK’ button in the Section dialog.
3) When mct file exported from the previous versions is imported into the new version, the section properties are
automatically recalculated except for built-in database section.
31 / 35
5. Improvement on Soil Pressure

 Soil pressure contours were provided on the beam, plate or solid elements representing subgrade beam, mat foundation or
retaining wall. In the new version, following improvements have been made:
 For inclined foundation, projection area is accurately calculated

 Incorrectly calculated soil pressures at nodes where horizontal and vertical springs were simultaneously applied are now correctly calculated and saved
separately.
 Effective area to calculate soil pressure was initialized as zero when soil stiffness was modified in Point Spring Support Table. It is now corrected.
 Modulus of Subgrade values can be checked and modified in Surface Spring Support table for compression-only type springs.

system. In the new version, different unit system can be specified by each tables and graphs separately.
