Please follow the instructions provided below to create Steel Tub Girder code check (according to AASHTO).

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:

  • for serviceability: STGTemp_Srv

  • for constructability: STGTemp_Cons

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 constant as they are created ("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.

Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.

1

Navigate to Steel Tub Girder Code Check under Superstructure Code Checks on the tree view.

2

Copy Code Parameters, Bridge Parameters from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM.

The Steel Tub Girder Code Check have been created.

 Quick Tip: Copy inputs to OpenBrIM

Copy the desired data with the automatic copy button in the upper left corner.

Click on the first cell in and use the Ctrl+V shortcut to paste.

If icon won’t appear, collapse page tree menu by clicking on arrow or using shortcut “[”.

While pasting large data, it would be handy to turn of Auto-refresh .
