RC Frame/ Box Culvert Wizard - Longitudinal tab Longitudinal tab Enter the frame bridge type, material property type and longitudinal configuration of a bridge. Structure Type: Select the type of bridge. 2-Dimensional bridge 3-Dimensional bridge Type of Bridge: Select a bridge type. Normal Type Frame Note
Page 3 of 7
Normal Type Frame is divided into Underground and Exposed types depending on the height of overburden.
Pi Type frame Box Culvert Note

Box Culvert is divided into Underground and Exposed types depending on the height of overburden.
Material: Material property type Span: Specify the spans consecutively Skew Angle: Skew angle of a 3-D frame bridge in plan
Shape Variation of Top Slab: Select the option to model the tapered section of a haunch. If this option is n the haunch is considered as a rigid zone using Beam End Offset. Circle type: Select when the haunch is circularly varying. Polynomial type: Select when the haunch variation is expressed as a polynomial function. Number of Element: Number of elements within the haunch. Division Ratio: Length ratios of the elements in the haunch
(Length of the elements of the haunch in the center/Length of the elements in the contiguous haunch Curvature: Exp: Order of a polynomial function
Size of Plate Element: Specify the maximum size of plate elements auto-generated in the longitudinal direc Wing Wall Thickness: Thickness of wing wall Radius Check in the box and specify the radius in the case of a curved bridge. Convex: Convex curvature (center of circle located below) Concave: Concave curvature (center of circle located above) Radial Type: Spans and supports are laid out in a radial pattern. Parallel Type: Support lines are laid out parallel to one another.
Note Radial Type becomes activated for a curved bridge. If "Convex" is selected, spans become shorter to center of the circle.
Dimensions Referring to the guide diagram, enter the dimensions of the bridge.

Barrier Median Strip
Median Strip Barrier
Size of Plate Element: Specify the maximum size of plate elements auto-generated in the transverse direct b1, b2, ~ D, n: Referring to the guide diagram, enter the transverse cross-section data. Supports of Pi Frame Fixed Support: Location of a fixed support in the Pi-type frame bridge (Number of Bearings = n+1) Supports of Culvert Specify the type and modulus of subgrade reaction of the culvert. Spring Type General: Stiffness of general elastic spring Compression Only: Stiffness of general elastic spring effective in compression only Note
"Compression Only" is applicable for 2-dimensional Box Culvert type only.
Modulus of Subgrade Reaction Define the modulli for different locations. Length of Elastic Link: Length of elastic link element (The magnitude does not affect the analysis)

RC Frame/ Box Culvert Wizard - Loads tab Loads tab Enter the loading information. Load Combinations Factored: Factored load combinations are auto-generated. Unfactored: Service load combinations are auto-generated. Self Weight: Slab self weight Pavement: Weight of pavement (pressure load) Weight Density: Weight density of pavement
Thickness: Pavement thickness Soil: Soil pressure Weight Density: Weight density of soil Pi: Angle of friction Surcharge: Overburden load Underground Water: Underground water level relative to the grade level Barrier: Barrier load Self weight: Self weight of barrier Additional Load: Additional loads such as noise barrier, guard rails, etc. Median Strip: Self weight of median strip Sidewalk: Superimposed weight of sidewalk Weight Density: Weight density per unit volume Thickness: Thickness of sidewalk Crowd Load: Human occupancy load Live Load: Bridge live load Grade of Bridge: Bridge live load grade Eccentricity: Reference axis when the live load is applied eccentrically. Settlement: negative value Note
Page 7 of 7
When Settlement is entered, the settlements by the locations of the auto-generated support settlement group are autom analyzed.
System Temperature: Temperature load
Temperature Gradient: Temperature gradient. Temperature difference between the top and bottom surfaces of th Shrinkage Strain loaded as Element Temperatures Load Thermal Coefficient
