No additional programs needed. midas Civil provides the user with various analysis functions for any type of analysis. It is formulated on the basis of linear analysis, but is also capable of carrying out geometric nonlinear analysis.
midas Civil provides two types of design check in Composite Design (Composite Steel Plate Girder Design & Composite General Section Design). By inputting the design variables, longitudinal & transverse stiffeners information, and shear connector information into the Composite Design function, the design can be reviewed for the entire model or for selected sections. The design results can be checked in the detailed report, table, and graphical views.
This function is used for buckling analysis in midas Civil. After a simple setup, the program proceeds with the buckling analysis using the geometric stiffness matrix and the stiffness matrix of the structure. The geometric stiffness matrix is calculated from the static load analysis results selected by the user.
An alternative way to apply earth pressure loads is to assign appropriate spring supports to the abutment and/or piles to represent the soil properties. midas Civil provides an automatic generative function for the calculation of the spring stiffness for abutments and piles. The calculation method is based on the formulation proposed by B.M. Lehane.
The thermal contraction/expansion of the deck influences the earth pressure. It is one of the design conditions for the abutment wall. midas Civil provides element temperature loads, temperature gradient loads, etc, to consider all thermal load types.
Domain and sub-domain settings are required to perform design for plate elements in midas Civil. After setting up to the sub-domain, Plate Beam or Plate Column Design of the RC design function and the checking function can be used.
midas Civil offers a variety of wizards for structures that are frequently modeled by engineers. Through the wizard, users can quickly solve repetitive modeling tasks or defining many construction stages. Furthermore, the wizard is provided based on the construction method or the shape of the structure. e.g.)Contruction method (ILM Bridge Wizard, FCM Bridge Wizards, MSS Bridge Wizard, and FSM Bridge Wizard), Structure type (Suspension Brigde Wizard, Cable-Stayed Bridge Wizard, RC Slab Bridge Wizard, RC Frame/Box Wizard, Grillage Model Wizard, and Transverse Model Wizard).
Heat of hydration analysis of massive concrete structures can be performed using the solid element and construction stage analysis functions in midas Civil. Furthermore, ambient temperature analysis and stress analysis can be performed using the functions provided.
midas Civil provides FCM Camber Control, FCM Graph View, and Table functions in order to clearly derive the results of the construction stage analysis of balanced cantilever bridges. The amount of camber is shown in tables and graphs throughout the entire construction stage.
midas Civil provides design optimization according to various design standards including AASHTO, Eurocode, BS code, IRC and AS code. Structural design (structural analysis to section design) can be quickly performed in one model file. Furthermore, design is performed separately of structural analysis, enabling rapid design optimization.
The moving load analysis in midas Civil is effectively performed based on the influence line/surface analysis. To do this, create a traffic line lane or traffic surface lane. It is possible to define traffic lanes for various shapes of elements. Furthermore, by providing options to respond to country-specific design standards and structure types, it is possible to define traffic lanes according to the intention of the engineer. In particular, the optimization function allows the program to automatically consider the location of more moving loads without defining additional traffic lanes.
In midas Civil, the user can consider time-dependent characteristics of concrete such as Creep, Shrinkage, and Aging. Furthermore, the user can also consider the time-dependent characteristics of steel such as the relaxation. All time-dependent characteristics are based on the design code, and user-defined options are also provided to consider various design conditions.
Constitute the planned construction stage in the Define Construction Stage function. In midas Civil, the construction stage consists of groups of elements, boundaries, and loads that are activated/deactivated in each stage. Each stage can be subdivided into steps, allowing various construction stages to be compromised.
midas Civil provides methods for using eigen vectors and ritz vector for the eigenvalue analysis. The eigenvalue analysis provides the main dynamic characteristics of a structure such as vibration modes (mode shapes), natural periods of vibration (natural frequencies), and modal participation factors.
midas Civil provides a modal superposition method and direct integration for time history analysis. The Time forcing function allows users to consider dynamic loads such as ground acceleration, dynamic nodal loads, and time varying static loads in order to perform various different analyses. Furthermore, it also allows users to consider time variable static loads for various analyses.
midas Civil provides pushover analysis to support a performance-based design. The Pushover Global Control function provides detailed options for analysis. After completing the analysis, the user can review the analysis results in tables, graphs, texts, etc.

In terms of design, we will like to look at two important enhancements made. The first enhancement is the UK CS 454 Bridge Assessment for Steel Composite Girder. Steel composite girder assessment to CS 454 and CS 457 has been added to the software. Now, level 1 assessment can be performed for steel composite girders in midas Civil. Furthermore, assessment load combinations can be defined to obtain output for strength & service limit states. Assessment can also be performed depending on section types such as plate girders and box girders, and stiffeners in the transverse and longitudinal direction, web panels, shear connectors can be defined. Lastly, assessment results can be viewed in tabular format in midas Civil and these results can be exported to an Excel file. The summary and details of the report are provided for the bending, shear, combined bending and shear, longitudinal shear checks, and service limit states.
The second enhancement we will look into is the Load Rating LRFR 2019 update to AASHTO MBE 3rd edition for steel composite girders. Now, service, strength, and fatigue ratings are available for steel composite girders based on AASHTO-LRFR19. Furthermore, finite/infinite life, as well as serviceability index, can be viewed in the software and an excel report can be referred for detailed calculations. In the previous version of midas Civil, just the classification on whether the detail had finite or infinite fatigue life was available. Now, in midas Civil 2022, if the detail has finite fatigue life, then the minimum, evaluation I, evaluation II and mean fatigue life along with serviceability index are provided with detailed calculations.
Now, let's look at two important analysis-related enhancements made to midas Civil 2022. The first analysis enhancement is the Train Load Generator Time Forcing function improvement. With this enhancement, the time-history function is improved for the nodes which have different distances between nodes. Furthermore, the time-history function is also improved for the first node and the last node of the track. The second important analysis enhancement is the Auto-generation of Beam Section Temperature Loads (AASHTO, Eurocode, Australia). With this enhancement, an auto definition of the temperature gradient for PSC and steel composite girders is available as per AASHTO LRFD 2020, Eurocode, and AS 5100. The AS 5100 standard has different temperature distributions between the shaded area and other areas at the top of the slab for the PSC sections, but with this function, the temperature distribution of other areas is applied to the whole area of the top slab.
