Function
- Camber Control Graph of a bridge analyzed for construction stages by FCM is produced.
Call
From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Bridge Specialization] > [Camber] group > [FCM Camber] > [FCM Camber Graph View]
Input
The X-axis of the graph represents the length (or nodes) of the bridge and the Y-axis represents the corresponding cambers. Two values are produced for each node. The upper values signify the cambers to be considered at the time of installing the formwork whereas the lower values signify the displacements that would occur upon removal of the formwork after casting the concrete at the corresponding nodes.
If the above conditions are satisfied, the deflections of the main girders will be '0' and remain horizontal upon completion of construction.
