    Quote from Bridge Designer

    "ANSYS has always been a powerful tool in the resolution of advanced

    , , , . ,with the addition of CivilFEM, it has become a decisive instrument in the

    entire design and project of bridges such as our "Viaducto del Sil, en

    Ponferrada (Len, Spain)".

    In the analysis of large bridges you must take into account a lot of

    structural features; different materials, types of section, construction

    process,... CivilFEM Preprocessor is a definitive help to give ANSYS all the

    n orma on nee s.

    Later, CivilFEM Postprocessor allows you to check your model under several

    International Codes and, both quickly and safely, confirming that the

    solution proposed for the bridge is valid.

    This whole process eventually concludes in a highly accurate answer to our

    clients' requests, with considerable savings in the amount of time spent in

    developing the whole project and with a decisive saving of costs in theconstructed bridge.

    Kind regards,

    CivilFEM Creep and Shrinkage

    Shrinkage in CivilFEM is computed from the shrinkage strain curvesdefined in the concrete material properties.

    Curves can be defined by the user point-by-point.

    r n age s ra ns w e compu e n a ma er a s w e s r n ageoption activated.

    They are introduced in the model by temperature increments and calculated.

    Since shrinkage strains are related to thermal strains, temperatureincrements must not be applied to elements that are associated to materialswith the shrinka e o tion activated.

    s s mp e me o nee s on y one oa s ep or eac me o esolved, so this method is much faster than the step by step method.

    Under this method, the creep strain only depends on the current state of

    stresses thats why its independent of the previous load history. Thismethod provides accurate results for concrete stresses almost constant inme.

    This method is based on the substitution of the material elasticity modulusby an effective modulus so it isnt possible to determine the creep strainindependent to the elastic strain so the final elastic strain will be thecombination of these.
