CP 001100 | Reconstruction of Güsen Road Bridge B 10 over the Elbe-Havel Canal, Germany
Video
First Steps with RFEM
Description
The new Güsen road bridge B 10 is a tied‑arch bridge with an orthotropic roadway slab. The clear width between bridge abutments is about 301.9 ft and the bridge width is almost 46 ft wide.
The arches are made of welded box sections. A horizontal stiffening of the arches is achieved by 4 crossbeams made of steel round tubes (portal effect). Both stringers of the bridge are suspended with 12 round members of d = 4 inches each.
The engineers from grbv used the RSMOVE add‑on module to generate moving loads in RSTAB. Also, many cross‑sections were created in the cross‑section properties software SHAPE‑THIN. The bridge model was converted to RFEM 6 for a presentation video.

Consideration of Construction Stages in RFEM 6
The calculation of complex structures by means of finite element analysis software is generally performed on the entire model. However, the construction of such structures is a process carried out in multiple stages where the final state of the building is achieved by combining the separate structural parts. To avoid errors in the calculation of overall models, the influence of the construction process must be considered. In RFEM 6, this is possible by using the Construction Stages Analysis (CSA) add-on.

- The limit stress is activated, but my stress ratio is “non-designable” in the Stress-Strain Analysis add-on. What could be the reason?
