After clicking on 'Construction> Construction Stage' in the navigation treeview, follow the steps to define the Construction Stage. You can use the collapsed documentation page below for more information on the explanations of each parameter.
| 1 | Set name as SubstrConstStage. |
|
| 2 | Keep the Prior Stage as default. |  |
| 3 | Keep the Construction Method as default. You can refer to the Quick Tip below to learn about the working principle of the Construction Method parameter. |
|
| 4 | ||
| 5 | By using the option ‘Select’ ,set the Load Type to Dead. Then click ‘OK’. |
|
| 6 |
|
|
| 7 | Keep the Time Dependent parameters as default. |
|
| 8 |
|
|
| 9 | Keep the AASHTO N-3N parameters as default. |
|
| 10 | Set material parameter to deck material to modify the modulus of elasticity for each stage. Enter Composite Section parameter as long-term for permenant loads and short-term for transient loads. You can refer to the Quick Tip below to get information about the Composite Section. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | To model all the construction stage, copy the data below and paste the parameters into the first cell in OpenBrIM spreadsheet. Refer to the quick tip for an easy guide on how to perform the copy operation. After completing the copy, proceed to the next step to verify the model. | |
