Master Your Design - Pier Caps

Cracks are common in pier caps which significantly affect the durability of the entire bridge and traditional method of design like Strut-and-Tie method are limited especially for serviceability which could potentially lead to development of excessive cracks.

Join our free summer series webinar and learn how to use CSFM-based application IDEA StatiCa Detail to properly model and code-check a pier cap for Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) which includes crack widths and deflection checks. 

You will learn how to define the geometry, define reinforcement using CAD file and assign loads. We will interpret the results and gain better understanding on the behavior of the pier cap.

Master your design webinar series

Master your design is a series of five short concrete design webinar for (not only) beginners to get quickly familiarized with the program. By covering the most common example, users will learn how to code-check different concrete structures quickly and safely using IDEA StatiCa Detail application
