7. Extrude Elements

The extrusion can be done in the following three manner:

➢Node -> Element
➢Element -> Plate
➢Plate -> Solid

25
 4. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

1. Supports

USE: To provide the support to the structures. Can be used to simulate pin and fix
supports
TYPE: The supports can be provided to X Y and Z directions.
Also the rotations about these axes can be restrained.

26
 4. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
2. Point Spring Supports
USE: Generally used to simulate the soil conditions ( to simulate the non-stiff support
provided by soil). Soil support to the footings can be modeled by this function
TYPE: Four types of springs can be defined:
➢Linear
➢Comp –Only
➢Tens –Only
➢Multi-Linear

27
 4. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
3. Surface Spring Supports
USE: Generally used to simulate the soil conditions ( to simulate the
non-stiff support provided by soil) underneath a footing. The
subgrademodulus of soil obtained by geotechnical experiments can
be directly entered and midas civil determines the equivalent spring
constants to simulate the soil support.
TYPE: Four types of springs can be defined:
➢Nodal Spring –Program automatically calculates the spring
simulating the soil conditions and apply that support to nodes.
➢Distributed Spring –The soil support is applied as a planar
supportFurther type of element –beam, planar or solid can be
selected.

28
 4. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
4. Elastic Links
USE: Can be used to connect two member via springs.
Especially used to simulate the bearingCharacteristics. The
equivalent spring constants of bearings can be Specified. Can be
used to simulate the ballast characteristics.
TYPE: Four types of springs can be defined:
➢General
➢Rigid
➢Tension Only
➢Compression Only
➢Multi Linear

5. Beam End Releases
USE: To release specific degree of freedom for a specific point of time. The released
degree of freedom can be assigned to a boundary group and can be activated and
deactivated at users will.especially useful in composite bridge construction analysis
where the beam becomes continuous after the laying of deck.
TYPE: Fz, Fy, Fx, Mx, My, Mzcan be released.
6. Rigid Link
USE: To connect the nodes which cannot move relative to each other. Especially used
to connect
the nodes representing the same solid.
TYPE: The rigid link can be provided to restrict DX, DY, DZ, RX RY, RZ

 5. LOADING

1. Static Load Cases

USE: The load case can be specified so that the program can automatically recognize
what factor has to applied to the loads for generating the load combinations for
AASHTO, Eurocode etc.
TYPE: The following type of static load cases are frequently used:
➢Dead Load
➢Dead Load of Components and Attachments
➢Dead Load of Wearing Surface
➢Live Load
➢Prestress
➢Creep
➢Shrinkage
➢Temperature
➢Temperature Gradient

2. Self Weight

USE: The self weight of the structure is automatically considered when the element is
acivated.
TYPE: The self weight can be applied to X, Y and Z direction.

3. Specified Displacement of Supports

USE: The support settlement can be specified with the help of this function. Particularly
useful when The structures are build on soils that can settle. Also differential Settlements
of piers can be simulated.
TYPE: The specified displacements can be provided in x, y and z directions.Also the
rotations can also be specified.

32
 5. LOADING

5. Beam Load
USE: For specifying the regular beam forces
such as concentrated forces, uniformly
distributed forcesEtc.
TYPE: The following types of beam loads can
be specified:
➢Element beam Loads –for each element
➢Line beam Loads –for a set of elements
➢Typical Beam Loads –Special Distribution

33
 5. LOADING
6. Plane Load
USE: For specifying the pressure load which doesn’t cover the entire plate.
TYPE: Rectangular and Trapezoidal pressure distribution can be applied.

34
 5. LOADING
7. Temperature Load
USE: To simulate the stresses obtained due to the change in temperature.
TYPE: The following type of temperature loads can be specified:
➢System Temperature -for applying the change in temperature to whole structure.
➢Nodal Temperate –for applying change in temperature to certain nodes.
➢Element Temperature –for applying change in temperature to certain elements.
➢Temperature Gradient –for applying change in temperature to beam and plate sections.
➢Beam Section Temperature –for applying temperature gradient to beam sections.

8. Moving Load

USE: For obtaining the critical force effects due to movement of vehicles on the bridge.
TYPE: Midas Civil has the database for the following codes:
➢AASHTO Standard
➢AASHTO LRFD
➢Eurocode
➢INDIAN code
➢Canadian Code
➢PENNDOT
➢BS CodeUser defined vehicles can also be specified and used for moving load analysis.
