Overview
- A single span of 36 m long simply supported composite bridge consisting of five girder beams spaced at
2.5m centers are generated using beam elements with defined construction stages.
- The behavior of the bridge under Static loads and Moving loads are examined
- Design of Steel composite Girders as per IRC:22:2015 is also presented
In this tutorial we will learn the following things:

- How to use steel composite wizard and construction stages.
- How to assign static load in midas Civil.
- How to define moving load as per IRC 6:2014 in midas Civil.
- How to define construction stages in midas Civil.
