Deck [SIG]

Concrete Deck elements of bridges can be modeled in OpenBrIM in two parts:

Cross-Section: This involves specifying the distances to the left and right edges of the PGL, mid-thickness, left overhang thickness, and right overhang thickness.

Concrete Deck: The previously defined cross-section data will be used along with additional definitions, such as support line definitions (to specify the locations of the cross-sections), girders (to account for haunch loads), taper options, material assignment, and reinforcement data.

For further definitions of each section’s parameters, refer to the relevant page of the documentation.
