Follow the next steps to create steel I girder code check (AASHTO).
| 1 | Go to Superstructure Code Checks/Steel I Girder Code Check (AASHTO). |  |
| 2 | Under General column, select Girder as G4 (exterior girder). | |
| 3 | Specify Station as 260 ft. (around 2nd span mid). |  |
| 4 | Name the row G4Span. | |
| 5 | Enter Panel Type as InteriorPanel (Panel Type serves for web panel classification). | |
| 6 | Select Code Check Template as SuperstrCCT. |  |
| 7 | Go to 2nd row (It’s for constructability checks for girder G1 at station 240 ft). |  |
| 8 | Name the 2nd row G1SpanConst. | |
| 9 | Select Girder column G1. | |
| 10 | Enter Station as 240 ft. | |
| 11 | Enter Panel Type as InteriorPanel. | |
| 12 | Select Code Check Template as SuperstrConstCCT. | |
| 13 | Go to 3rd row (It’s for serviceability (Strength, Service and Fatigue) checks for girder G2 at station 160 ft (at pier)). |  |
| 14 | Name the 3rd row G2Support. | |
| 15 | Select Girder column G2. | |
| 16 | Enter Station as 160 ft. | |
| 17 | Enter Panel Type as EndPanel. | |
| 18 | Select Code Check Template as SuperstrCCT. | |
| 19 | Switch to Reinforcement input column. |  |
| 20 | Select Input Data Preference as Lumped in 1st row. | |
| 21 | For Deck Rebar Material column, click A615_60, if not defined click Import. |  |
| 22 | From Database drop-down menu, select Steel Material Database. |  |
| 23 | From Category drop-down menu, select Reinforcing Steel. | |
| 24 | From Asset drop-down menu, select A615_60 and click Import. | |
| 25 | Drag down the imported material to the 2nd and 3rd rows. |  |
| 26 | Enter reinforcement area values specified in the corresponding cells. (Note that based on the input data preference, inputs not applicable automatically turns into N/A). |  |
| 27 | Switch to Stiffener input tab. |  |
| 28 | Select all Has Long. Stiffener column cells at once. Set its value to NO. | |
| 29 | Select all Has Trans. Stiffener column cells at once. Set its value to YES. |  |
| 30 | Go to Stiffener Spacing Computation column. |  |
| 31 | For the code checks at span region, keep the value Use Cross Frame Spacing as default. | |
| 32 | For the code check at support region, click three-dots icon, and select User Input. | |
| 33 | See Transverse Stiffener Spacing column turned from N/A to a numeric value. For this example, keep it value 82 in as default. |  |
| 34 | Longitudinal stiffener = No for this example. (Long. Stiff-comp. flange:= distance btw longitudinal stiffener and compression flange (in).) | |
Steel I girder code check (AASHTO) is completed.
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Go to Steel I Girder Code Check (AASHTO) under Superstructure Code Checks on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy General, Reinforcement, and Stiffener from model inputs and paste into 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 .
