COMPOSITE FOOTBRIDGE
Purpose of software
The CTICM software is used for design of the rolled-steel main beams of a composite steel and concrete bridge superstructure. It is intended
as a means of checking the feasibility of a design solution, optimizing design through appropriate choice of parameters, and estimating the
main quantities involved.
Scope of application
The kinds of bridges handled are road bridges, railway bridges, and footbridges with superstructures made made out of steel rolled girders and a
participating reinforced concrete slab or with filler-beam decks. Decks may be simply supported or continuous in the case of multi-span bridges.
Calculations and verifications are performed in accordance with Eurocodes EN and National Annexes.
On the basis of a definition of bridge geometry, materials, and loads, the program calculates internal forces and moments in the main beams under the
effect of: dead load, superimposed dead load and live load; concrete shrinkage; temperature differential; any support height adjustment. The analysis is
performed with a finite element solver, using a grid model. The structure is discretized by bar elements corresponding to segments of the main beams,
longitudinal and transverse strips of slab, and any crossbeams. For calculating flexural and torsional stiffnesses, account is taken of creep and any concrete
cracking, depending on the type of internal forces or moments. Longitudinal and transverse influence lines are used to determine the position of mobile
loads producing extreme effects at the different cross-sections considered.
To establish design of beams, the program calculates the main load combinations for the bridge in the in-service phase. The design checks for
the serviceability limit state and ultimate limit state concern stresses in the beams and in the longitudinal reinforcement, compressive stresses in the
concrete, the ultimate moment resistance, crack control and the vertical deformation and stress variation in beams at the fatigue limit state. The software
also calculates reactions at supports and the number of connectors required to transfer shear forces between the beams and the slab. For filler-beam
decks, the calculations include a number of special features in accordance with the specifications of the design codes.
