Benefits of Composite steel prefab girder
The programme component RTcompositeSteelPre supports the calculation and design of prefabricated spatial systems of structural steel, composite steel-concrete or reinforced concrete bridges and in particular provides the following advantages:
- Graphic-oriented surface during design with interactive cross section optimisation
- The calculation / design of the composite girders is performed according to the overall cross section method
- Simple acquisition of the system, cross section and load histories
- Consideration of forces of cracking in the concrete chord
- Automatic evaluation of secondary effects resulting from creep and shrinkage
- Powerful and economic design according to DIN technical report 104 with a clear result graphic and specific detail information
- Document output in RTprint / RTF format in compliance with the user’s requirements
