I am trying to do a load rating of a steel truss bridge and needed to get the section modulus and thereafter of the Interior steel girder. Please i need assistance on how to define the section of I-beam with a concrete deck layer on it.
Dear Omoniyi Moses Tope
Have you tried the built-in "Section Designer" of SAP2000?
Dear Mehran Shahpari Thank you for your response. I have checked it but can only find the I-section an not a composite. In other words, i dont know how to add the concrete section on it. I will appreciate any further assistance from you on this sir.
Dear Omoniyi Moses Tope
First, you should define concrete and steel properties from Define-> Material Properties.
Then, I recommend watching the following tutorial:
