Overview
In this quest, you will build a two-span continuous steel I-girder bridge with integral abutments in MIDAS CIVIL NX. Begin with the Steel Composite Bridge Wizard, then manually add abutment walls and piles, define pile-soil springs and earth pressure loads, and refine the construction stages for deck placement and composite action. You will apply AASHTO LRFD moving loads and evaluate reactions, deformations, beam forces, and plate forces. Finally, you will perform steel composite design according to AASHTO LRFD 2020 and bridge rating according to AASHTO LRFR 2019. By completing this quest, you will learn how to: - Model a steel composite bridge with integral abutments and pile foundations - Define construction stages, composite sections, and AASHTO moving loads - Review structural responses and code-based load combinations - Perform LRFD design and LRFR rating for strength, service, and fatigue limit states - Generate detailed design and rating reports
