3d. Composite Grillage


The 3d. option in the RM Bridge Enterprise Training Examples, 3d. Composite Grillage has the datasets and a description document for ÖNORM, modeling, analysis and design of a three span grillage model with a composite deck. It’s composed by two steel I beams and a concrete slab. The steel girder is erected in a first construction stage and applied the self-weight of the steel girder and wet concrete slab. Once the concrete has hardened composite action can be activated. It can be accessed at File\Examples\Training Examples by selecting 03.d ÖNORM, as shown below.

Either only the Modeler part or the complete project with Modeler and Analyzer datasets can be uploaded, as shown below. When we call it, a Composite Grillage training includes some detailing modeling, load input, construction stages, traffic loads, post processing, fiber stress and ultimate check is presented, as can be seen in the screenshot below.

The following items are briefly described in this introduction:
