Using the ILM Bridge
Model Wizard, enter the number of segments and the corresponding
data to generate the entire bridge configuration. Basic
construction stages (by Activation of Segments) can be
automatically generated on the basis of the number of
segments entered.
Data
entry for boundary conditions upon completing the entire
model of an ILM bridge by segments including the Nose,
using the ILM Bridge Model Wizard
Auto-calculation of maturity and loadings in Construction
Stage by simple entry of number of days for construction
Automatic
tendon placement and drawing generation by selecting
tendon types contained in Model Wizard
Optimum tendon curvature
is calculated and automatically placed
using the data pertaining to the locations of anchors
and counter-flexure points.
Optimum Tendon Profiles used in an ILM Bridge can
be auto-generated using the tendon placing types contained
in the program.
ILM
Bridge Stage Wizard
Using
the bridge data, number of days for construction for each
segment and each launching length, detailed construction
stage for each launching stage (by Activation and Deactivation
of supports) is automatically generated.
ILM Bridge Stage Wizard automatically
generates models, boundary conditions and loadings for
each construction stage of an ILM process.
G-Step in ILM
signifies change of boundary conditions without
elapsed time during launching in construction stages.
Definition of launching timing
for each ILM construction stage of a curved bridge and
activated structural model diagrams for different construction
stages including boundary conditions
As all construction stages are handled in one file,
Activation/Deactivation of elements, boundary conditions
and loadings for each stage becomes a simple task.
Effects of Creep and Shrinkage
relative to maturity can be easily considered.
The Wizard is also capable of auto-generating curved
bridges
