I have a question regarding the deflection of curved girders. The bridge I am working on:
Has skewed supports (not radial)
Supports are not parallel to each other
Span is a simple span (167’ longest girder, 158’ shortest girder)
The supports are skewed such that the outer girder is actually...
Hi,
I am creating points in land desktop using the manual option from Point Menu. The strange thing that ia happening is the points are created with correct northing and easting values but are drawn at incorrect location in drawing.
And when I use these points to build my surface and create...
Is there anybody out there who is doing or can give advice about doing consulting for bridge/roadway/highway design/drafting?
What are the obstacles, legal issues, basic needs...or anything you can suggest?
I would really appreciate any input/guidance/advice/thoughts.

I have a survey drawing in AutoCAD format. Our Surveyor works in AutoCAD only. Client wants the final drawings in microstation format. So...I want to convert the drawing we got from our surveyor into a microstation file. Then I can use that file as my base drawing in microsation to create all...
The output of HY8 program (from HYDRAIN family of programs by FHWA)gives you the "type of flow" in the culvert for different discharge values.
For example: 1-S2n, 5-S2n, 1-M2c etc etc.
What is the significance of these short forms. Does anybody has any idea where I can find the description of...
Can anyone please suggest me a good reference or a book to find out factors for distributing wheel loads/point loads through earth fills??
I am designing a large underground sediment tank, which is covered by 3' soil at top (ground level). I need to know what loads will de distributed to the...

While designing plate elements in STAAD....I have noticed that.....I always (80 % of the time) get area of steel required to be.....0.324 sqaure inch/foot.
I tried differently....but I get same results.
For example....

I increased...
How should I model a pipe in STAAD-Pro?
It is a 12" diameter pipe resting over soil.
It is a underground pipe with a concrete/bituminous pavement above it. I need to check the stresses in pipe due to moving wheel load.
Hello everybody,
I would like to model a concrete slab (15" thick) with an opening. Also the slab is subjected to moving loads (wheel loads). Can anyone suggest me the best way to do this?

I need some intelligent advice for a bridge rehabilitation project.
The exisitng bridge has an skew of about 30 degrees.
It need to be raised up to get required vertical clearnace.
hence we r raising the existing beams up/providing a new deck above.
My question is.....will there be any stresses...
