Girder: Choose the girder on which the intermediate diaphragm is constructed.
Offset from Girder Mid Station [ft]: Enter the station difference from the center of the intermediate diaphragm to mid station of the girder.
Thickness [in]: Enter the thickness value used to calculate the weight of the intermediate diaphragm. Stiffness of the created finite elements is not affected by this input. During construction of diaphragms, the user can decide whether to include the diaphragm weight as a load or to ignore the diaphragm load effects in the model.
Start - End Skew:
Material: Set the material for the intermediate diaphragm. It is possible to consider the weight of the intermediate diaphragm and apply it as loads in stage construction analysis.
