PLATE AND ECCENTRIC BEAM FINITE ELEMENT MODEL

 

Purpose:  Used to select type of girder system analysis model in Girder System Projects.  (Not applicable to Line Girder Projects.)

 

-->    Given in girder system input

 

A plate and eccentric beam finite element model is used for composite dead load and live load analysis (see LOW RESOLUTION MESH , MEDIUM RESOLUTION MESH , HIGH RESOLUTION MESH , SLABT , FPC , WCONC ) (Also see GRID MODEL )  Note:  At this time, the plate and eccentric beam finite element model is available only for Parallel/Concentric Girder Systems, but not for slab pour sequence analysis.
