2. Improvement of steel composite design to AASHTO LRFD 2012 (Bearing stiffener design)
Bearing stiffeners are required to resist the bearing reactions or other concentrated loads, either in the final state or during construction.
For plate girders, bearing stiffeners are required to be placed on the webs at all bearing locations and at all locations supporting concentrated loads.
Check on the 'Bearing' to define the bearing stiffener of steel composite section selected from the Target Section & Element List.

5. Cable force optimization for a cable-stayed bridge considering both large displacement and creep/shrinkage
midas Civil provides two special features to optimize cable forces for a cable-stayed bridge, i.e. Lack-of-Fit Force and Unknown Load Factor. The required pretension in the cables
during construction can be obtained using one of the above features. The Lack-of-Fit Force function can take into account the effect of large displacement but not creep/shrinkage
effect. The Unknown Load Factor function can take into account the creep/shrinkage effect but not large displacement.
In this version, however, the Unknown Load Factor function is improved to consider both creep/shrinkage effect and large displacement.
In the construction stage analysis with the effect of large displacement, the effects of all the construction stage load cases such as Dead Load, Erection Load, Tendon
Primary/Secondary, Creep Secondary and Shrinkage Secondary will be combined into one load case which is the Summation (CS) load case. In order to perform cable
optimization, the effects of cable tensioning should be separated from the other effects including creep/shrinkage. This can be done by one of the two ways:
1) Create a stage in which only cables are activated and the stage duration is zero and specify the stage as Unknown in the Unknown Load Factor function. This needs to be done
for each cable which will be activated at different stages.
2) Save results for Additional Steps as well as Stage in the Construction Stage dialog and activate cables at the first step of a stage and specify the step as Unknown in the
Unknown Load Factor function. This needs to be done for each cable which will be activated at different stages.

3. Addition of creep, shrinkage & elastic modulus database to CEB FIP 2010
Time dependent creep, shrinkage and elastic modulus for concrete can be defined as per CEB FIP 2010. The properties are applied to construction stage analysis and heat of
hydration analysis.
Tendon relaxation as per CEB FIP 2010 and 1990 are now available. Based on the loss rate at 1000 hours defined by the user, prestress loss due to steel relaxation is
determined.

4. User-defined relaxation
Tendon relaxation function can be defined by the user and it can be applied to the tendon relaxation loss calculation. The relaxation value can be defined as the relaxation ratio
based on the initial jacking force defined in Tendon Prestress Load. For the long-term relaxation loss, the program assumes the relaxation is constant after the final relaxation rate
defined by the user. It will be very useful to apply various national standard of tendon relaxation.
User defined relaxation can be entered by relaxation rate and hour/day relation. It can be entered by copy and paste from MS Excel or import in *.TDM file.
