Starting with the basic workflow on a simple beam bridge example make sense to get familiar with the basic input of tendons, construction stages and the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shared video will guide you through the basics of designing a post-tensioned beam bridge. Although the example shows a two-span bridge, the concept can be used for any other beam bridge. This is one of the advantages of using AutoCAD as graphical pre-processor for modelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following topics a will be covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Tendons for Beams<ul><li>Prestressing System<\/li><li>Graphical definition of tendons<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Construction Stages<ul><li>Assign group numbers to stages<\/li><li>Check assigned group numbers<\/li><li>Create a construction sequence<\/li><li>Pre-Camber Analysis<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Design<ul><li>Design the Bridge using the Construction Stage Manager Tasks<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beam Bridge Basics - Tendons, Construction Stages and Design in SOFiSTiK\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k-_qXscL_Fw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to create a beam bridge\u00a0using the parametric input check\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/basics-of-modelling-a-parametric-beam-bridge\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Basics of Modelling a Parametric Beam Bridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more Bridge tutorials check the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sofistik.de\/documentation\/2018\/en\/tutorials\/bridge-design\/bridge-design.html\" target=\"_blank\">official SOFiSTiK online tutorials version 2018<\/a>.<br>For more Bridge tutorials check the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sofistik.de\/documentation\/2020\/en\/tutorials\/bridge-design\/bridge-design.html\" target=\"_blank\">official SOFiSTiK online tutorial<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sofistik.de\/documentation\/2020\/en\/tutorials\/bridge-design\/bridge-design.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">s<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sofistik.de\/documentation\/2020\/en\/tutorials\/bridge-design\/bridge-design.html\" target=\"_blank\"> version 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Software version: SOFiSTiK FEA v2018-03.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Create tendons, define construction stages and perform the design of a beam bridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,4,5,3],"tags":[19,31,32,29,18,33,23],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sofistikforyou.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
