This free, one-hour demonstration will cover the steps necessary to develop a bridge model using SAP2000 / BrIM (Bridge Information Modeling.) Three different types of bridges will be presented: concrete box girder, steel, and cable-stayed.

Part I: Concrete Box Girder Bridges
Layout Line Definition · Deck Section Definition · Abutment Definition · Bent Definition · Diaphragm Definition · Hinge Definition · Parametric Variation Definition · Bridge Object Definition · Updating a Linked Model · Lane Definition Vehicle Definition · Analysis Cases · Results

Part II: Steel Bridges
Layout Line Definition · Deck Section Definition · Bridge Object Definition · Creating a Linked Model · Modifying Abutment Properties · Modifying Bent Properties · Modifying Vertical Diaphragm Properties · Updating Linked Bridge Model · Live Loads · Adding Vehicles · Adding Analysis Cases · Adding Trucks with Speed and Direction Adding Bridge Extensions · Completed Model · Final Analysis

Part III: Cable-Stayed Bridges
Overview of Cable-Stayed Bridge · Nonlinear Material Property Definition · Cable Property Definition · Deck Section Definition · Pylon Section Definition · Drawing Cable Using Auto Shape Feature and Target Tension Definition Defining Group Assignments · Defining Staged Construction Analysis Cases

Participants will receive downloadable course notes.
