Pier Cap/Bent Construction (Complete) [SIG]

Pier Cap Construction

If a pier cap is to be partially constructed and the user aims to check for the creep and shrinkage effects of each deck pour, they can use the pier cap/bent (partial) construction section.

Stage: Choose the stage for constructing the pier or bents. Usually, the construction of pier caps, piers, footings, and piles is completed within a single stage.

Pier Caps/Bents: Choose the pier caps or bents for construction.

Self-Weight Factor: The Self-Weight Factor is a parameter used to adjust the contribution of an object's own weight in structural analysis. This factor is particularly useful in simulations, as it enables the scaling or modification of the self-weight during finite element analysis (FEA).
