Is there a way to report/graph the girder deformations due to post-tensioning, shrinkage, and creep in PG Splice? We are looking for the long term horizontal deformations on the bearing pads after post-tensioning is applied. We went through the Time-Step details but it was readily apparent where this information is. Thanks!
Unfortunately there is not. That's an item on the TODO list, but we haven't had an opportunity to implement it yet.
One way to approximate the displacement is to restrain the bridge longitudinally with hinge connections. This will develop axial force in the superstructure. From the axial force you can compute, Delta_L = PL/EA.
Following up on this topic to confirm that the program has not yet been updated for the capability. Thank you,
Correct - we plan to implement this feature in the next major release.
Thank you, we will look forward to it.
