Watch how to define p-y curves to represent soil properties adjacent to the piles in an integral bridge model (Version 20).
Watch how to define a reinforcement arrangement and set up a design check to carry out an assessment of utilisation. (Version 20)
Watch an overview of key new facilities that improve the use of LUSAS for all users. (Version 20)
Watch how to create a beam and shell model of a 3-span curved steel composite bridge using the Steel Composite Bridge Wizard.
Composite sections, girders, spans, supports are defined prior to generating an initial bridge model from the input data. Stiffeners and cross-bracing details are added also using the wizard and the bridge is re-generated to show their inclusion in the model. After solving the model, bending moment results are displayed for a selected girder by using the slice resultants facility. (Version 19)
Understand key aspects of influence analysis and watch how influence analysis can now also be carried at beam/shell slice resultant locations. (Version 19)
