taged Staged Construction Analysis
For a typical load rating project, a staged construction analysis is performed in the following stages:
Stage 1: Construction of girders and bracings, followed by the application of non-composite loads such as deck loads and stay-in-place formwork loads on the non-composite girder.
Stage 2:(or more): The deck gains stiffness based on the deck pouring sequence.
Stage 3: Barrier loads or wearing surface loads are applied on the deck.
Stage 4: Influence surface-based live load analysis is conducted using various vehicles.
