2. Load Combinations for Composite Steel Girder as per AASHTO LRFD 2007, 2012
Composite Steel Girder Design load combination tab is applicable for steel composite b ridge design as per AASHTO LRFD 07 and 12.
Auto generation of load combinations under this tab is supported for AASHTO-LRFD 07 and 12. Load Comb ination Type under Design > Composite Design menu is automatically
specified when [Auto Generation] function is used. When the load combinations are manually entered, the user has to specify the load combination type for performing composite
design.
Load combinations in Composite Steel Girder Design tab are applicable only to Steel Composite Design function. They are not applicable to the general result functions (ex. Results
> Reactions, Deformations, Forces, and Stresses).
In Composite Steel Girder Design tab, Dead Load(CS) is used for defining load factor of before composite dead load case. For the dead loads after composite action, the user has to
specify Erection Load cases in Construction Stage Analysis Control dialog box.

In the previous version, only one erection load case was able to be defined. In the new version, up to 3 erection load cases can be defined.
This feature is very useful to distinguish Dead Load of Component (DC) and Dead Load of Wearing Surfaces (DW) for different load factors when generating load combinations as
per AASHTO LRFD.

7. Wave Loads
Generate wave loads for static and time historyanalysis.
For static analysis, wave loads are generated as static nodal loads. For time history analysis, wave loads are generated as Dynamic Nodal Loads along with Time Forcing
Functions.
The program can validate the defined wave load data based on Dean(1970) Graph and Le Mehaute (1979) Graph.

It is useful to check stress limitation under service limit state for the arbitrary sections and to calculate crack width using the stresses of reinforcement.
The effect of creep on the stresses is simplyconsidered byusing the user-defined ratio of modulus elasticityof reinforcement to concrete.
It is assumed that the tensile strength of concrete is zero. The neutral axis depth is determined using cracked transformed section approach.

Longitudinal stiffeners can be defined in Section Properties dialog box. Flat, Tee, and U-Rib shape stiffeners are applicable. Toggle on C column in the table in order to consider
the longitudinal stiffeners in section stiffness calculation. Specified longitudinal stiffeners are applied in composite steel girder design as per AASHTO LRFD 07&12.
