1. Improvements in Eurocode Moving Load Analysis 1.1 Centrifugal Forces Centrifugal force due to vehicle load in the horizontally curved bridge can be generated as a static load from the Moving Load Tracer. Following vehicle types are supported with “Traffic Line Lane”. Traffic Surface Lane is not supported.
Road Bridge: Load Model 1 Standard and user-defined vehicle Railway Bridge: Standard Vehicle – LM71, SW/0, SW/2, Unloaded Train, HSLM User Defined Vehicle – LM71, SW/0, SW/2, Unloaded Train
Characteristic value of centrifugal forces are automatically calculated as per EN1991-2:2003, clause 4.4.2 and 6.5.1.

1.2 Eccentricity of Vertical Loads of Rail Traffics The effect of lateral displacement of vertical loads can be considered in Standard and User-defined vehicle dialog box. Eccentricity of vertical load to consider cant can be defined in Traffic Line Lane dialog box. Eccentricity needs to be calculated by the user according to the code provision.

2. Simultaneous display of top and bottom stress diagram – Bridge Girder Diagram In the previous version, either top stress or bottom stress diagram can be displayed. Now, both stress diagram can be displayed at the same time in one graph. Beam Forces/Moments can be displayed with various components at the same time.

Effective width scale factor – PCS box girder
Effective slab width is automatically calculated and considered in the calculation of bending stresses for both PSC box girder and composite steel plate girder. Code reference: 5.3.2.1 of EN 1992-2 for PSC box girder and 5.4.1.2 of EN 1994-2 for composite steel plate girder
3. Auto-calculation of effective slab width as per Eurocode

Buckling Mode Shape
New geometry updated based on buckling mode shape
Select a buckling mode to revise the geometry of model.
Geometric imperfection can easily be included in the analysis model. The buckling behavior of the model can be further investigated by performing geometric and material nonlinear analysis.
4. Update Geometry of Analysis Model using Buckling Mode Shape Create a new model file in which the geometry of analysis model is revised based on the mode shape of linear buckling analysis. The new model can be used for further geometric and material nonlinear analysis to find a buckling load considering geometric imperfection. The mode shape is scaled by the scale factor or by the maximum mode shape. The scaled mode shape is added to the nodal coordinates.
Scale Factor Updated coordinate = (initial coordinate) + (mode shape) x (scale factor) Maximum Value Updated coordinate = (initial coordinate) + (mode shape) x (maximum value)/(maximum mode shape) Results tab > Mode Shapes > Buckling Mode Shapes

Strands/Tendons can be created using Tendon Template, which will enable the user to generate prestressed beams easily and quickly. Auto-generation of the UK PSC section database is supported. Straight tendons and harped tendons can be defined based on the span and section information.
