File

• user interface is a Microsoft Visual Basic tabbed dialog with 14 tabs including 3 for Properties, 2 for Loads, and 6 for Design
• the dialog is filled from the Workbook identified in the Load button procedure
• path of file may be defaulted to simplify loading of files
• analysis and output is implemented on Excel Workbooks, one per project
• older version workbooks can be easily imported into the current version

Input (Stage 1)

• design process is divided into stages which are normally selected in order
• used to specify basic geometry of the girder and general bridge arrangement
• the Visual Basic tabbed dialog and the associated Excel workbook are adjusted to display only the details required for the Design Stage selected
• in Design Stage 1 the Geometry of the girder is specified

Input (Stage 2)

• in Design Stage 2 the Location of the Design is specified

Properties 1

• used to input the material properties and design parameters
• tab is not editable for Design Stages 2 and 4
• the Properties 2 tab is used to input the Mid Span section properties
• the Properties 3 tab is used to input the Girder Ends section properties and the length of application

Loads 1

• linear weight per meter of the dead and superimposed dead loads is defined
• SLS forces from pre-established force envelopes using BRIDGframe or equal are entered
• the Loads 2 tab is used to enter ULS and FLS force envelopes

Design 1

• values entered in Design Stages 1 and 3
• pretensioned strand section properties is input
• define cross sectional layout of strands within midspan region
• automated calculation of required jacking force

Design 2

• values entered in Design Stages 1 and 3
• define cross sectional layout of strands at girder end
• designate hold down locations of draped strand groups

Design 3

• values entered in Design Stages 1 and 3
• for ULS design at midspan, additional rebar may be added
• if applicable, temporary pretensioned strands may be added to the girder top to counter primary pretensioning at transfer
• automated required jacking force determined for temporary strands
• vibration is checked at this stag
• the Design 4 tab (for Design Stages 2 and 4) is for user desfined design locations
• the Design 5 tab (for Design Stages 2 and 4) is for shear design
• the Design 6 tab (for Design Stages 2 and 4) is for the design of the shear interface between girders and deck

Print

• simplified printing of Excel worksheets with project information included in preformatted header and footer

Features

• conformance with the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code CSA-S6
• simple and minimal tabular input for defining composite girder
• automated calculation of jacking stress required
• temporary pretensioned strands at girder top may be input
• automated calculation of rebar requirements for positive moment connection
• automated calculation of deck rebar required for negative moments
• importing of input from previous models
• in service and under construction design checks
• pop up error messages during modeling process
• error summary provided on each worksheet
