A detailed camber analysis within the construction schedule is also possible, with the action DoCamber for each label or type of load. This is very useful for construction control where the contractor will check the design pre-camber curve against each action performed over the structure. RM Bridge uses the same prefixes of the summation load cases in Load Definition \ Load Management that usually group the load cases by some of the following categories:
- SW - Self-Weight
- WC - Wet Concrete
- TR - Traveler
- PT - Prestressing
- CS - Creep & Shrinkage
- DL / SDL / ADL - Self / Additional Dead Load
- PL - Permanent Loads
Generally, for a BCB - Balance Cantilever Bridge the intermediate actions would be for WC - Wet Concrete, TR - overhead form Traveller, and PT - Prestressing, because the SW - Self-Weight would be included at the WC - Wet Concrete, and the CS - Creep & Shrinkage it's usually reported at the Stage End. So, automatic labels for the Beginning and End of each construction stage can be done by using the respective checkboxes in the stage window: Camber at begin and Camber at the end. Then, for the usual stage start and end, this is used instead of the DoCamber action. Further, a later stage with more DoCamber actions is added to the end of the construction schedule to perform all necessary plots and exports to tables. The objective is to achieve all zeros at the end of the final stage of construction, i.e., be at the correct planned profile position.
The plot below shows an example of the Balance Cantilever Training, and the Table shows the output used as guidance for the construction.
