Model sketch
CSI recommends that users sketch bridge configuration and data that is to be entered into the bridge modeler. Sketching should aid in computational-model development. Also, sketches submitted to CSI Technical Support will better communicate design intention, and expedite the support process. Attached is a sample sketch (pdf). It is advised that sketches contain the following information:
...
- Haunch weight is not included, since haunch is only used to vertically offset girders. When tendons are modeled as elements, tendon Tendon weight is included.
- Shear forces reported on the Bridge Object Response Display form do not include tendon contribution since the primary tendon force is removed from flexural check.
