 Detailed Explanation (Advanced)

When the Advanced switch is set to On,

  • Expansion Joint : Start and end points of the expansion joint can be set differently.

  • Key Segment(Kn) : Key segment length of side span and middle span can be set differently.

  • Pylon Table(B) : Length of PY1 and PY2 can be set differently.

Deck Slab

Enter the road cross section components of the bridge.

  • Area : Represents the road cross section components as a number.

  • Spacing : Enter the spacing between each road cross section component.

  • Type : Select the type of road cross section component.

Since the Curve Library is provided only for the Deck Width of 15.2m, the deck width can be changed after changing the User Section or the reinforcement girder Curve Library.
