If the goal is to check both the constructibility limit state as well as strength service and fatigue, it may be necessary to define more than one tub girder code check template for a project. Results that are mapped with the load combination table will be different for each of these limit states, and having separate templates can help ensure that all necessary checks are performed.

Please follow the instructions provided below to create Steel Tub Girder code check. |
| 1 | In order to perform Code Checks on Steel Tub Girders, assign the appropriate Load Combination Tables. As girders are part of the superstructure of bridges, the Load Combination Tables defined for the superstructure in previous steps should be utilized. | |
| 2 | Navigate to Templates for Code Check > Steel Tub Girder Code Check |
|
| 3 | For Steel Tub Girder code check, 2 Load Combination Tables must be defined. These are serviceability and constructability. Enter the name in the Name column as follows:
| |
| 4 | Click three-dots icon on Load Combination Table and set SuperstructureLCT both them. |  |
| 5 | Click three-dots icon on Check For set data as in the figure. Keep other data parameter constant as defult value. ("Include Haunch for Section Properties?" and "Mlat Comp. Method") |  |
| 6 | Navigate to Bridge Parameters tab. |
|
| 7 | This section includes the parameters for Steel Tub Girder code checks, such as ADTT (daily average vehicle traffic) and the number of lanes available for trucks. As the project has three lanes, two lanes are designated for truck traffic. | |
