| Alignment
|
Lists the current alignment, which is by default
the active alignment in the project.
Click
Select to select a different alignment in
the project.
|
| Aux Alignments
|
Click Add to select a different alignment to use as
an auxiliary.
|
| Placement Method
|
The beam spans in the layout over the selected
supportlines will be
Simple spans or
Continuous based on this selection.
|
| Default Span
|
Select the default span from the list of spans
(listed by supporting supportlines).
|
| Set All To Default
|
Select to set the beam layout for all spans to that
of the selected
Default Span.
|
| Show Overhang Length
|
Shows the min and max overhang distance, for each span, from the
beam to the edge of the deck on both the Left and Right sides of the exterior
beams. Overhang distances are measured normal from the beam to the edge of
deck.
|
| supportline span selections
|
Select the span to display in the Details group for
editing. If
Set All To Default is selected, then only
the default span may be edited.
|
| Same Beam Start/End Values
|
If checked, the Beam End values are set to be the
same as the Beam Start values. These include Spacing, Method, SL Offset, and
Skew Ends option.
|
| Details
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Number of Beams
|
Type the number of longitudinal beams in a
beam slab bridge cross-section and press <Return>.
|
| Left / Right Edge Distance
|
For each edge, type the distance from the deck
edge to nearest beam centerline in a beam slab bridge cross-section and then
click
Apply.
Note: Positive
edge distance is measured from left to right, so a right edge distance is
typically given as a negative value.
|
| Spacing
|
The center to center spacing between beams at
the start and end.
|
| Method
|
Select if the beam center lines are normal to
the start or end supportline or if the beams are along the skew.
|
| PL Offset
|
Type the longitudinal distance from the start
supportline to start or end of beam within the span and click
Apply.
Note: Positive values (+ve) are ahead of
the pier and negative values (-ve) are behind the pier with respect to
stationing.
|
| Skew Ends
|
Set this option to use skewed beam ends for
when selected. Otherwise the beam ends will be normal to the direction of the
span.
|
| Use Chord
|
Select this option to lay out the beam lines as
straight lines between pier lines rather than following the alignment or deck
edge.
|
| beam details table
|
The table displays the layout values for each
beam in the selected span. Individual beams can be edited manually.
|
|
| Validate
|
Click to have layout validation performed on the
layout specified. Any beams with detected errors will be displayed in red and
have a red flag icon at the start of the row.
|
| Save
|
Places the beam layout in the selected supportline
spans.
|
| Advanced Bearing Definition
|
If the check box for Advanced Bearing Definition is
checked, user can optionally specify additional bearing data for each end of a
beam.
| Number Required
|
1,2 or 3. Number of
bearings at specific end of the beam
|
| Spacing
|
Center to center spacing
between bearings
|
| Transverse Offset
|
To offset transversely
the entire set of bearings at this end. Looking upstation left hand side is
negative, and right hand side is positive
|
| Longitudinal Offset
|
To offset longitudinally,
(along the span direction) the entire set of bearings at this end. Positive is
upstation, and negative is downstation
|
