    This document describes three approaches to obtaining hyperstatic (secondary) forces for bridge object superstructures in a test problem modeled in CSiBridge. It presents the geometry of a prestressed concrete box girder bridge, including the tendon profile and cross section. It then summarizes the results of each approach: 1) via a hyperstatic load case, 2) by including tendon forces in the bridge object response, and 3) as the net resultant of design section forces from a flexural design request considering only prestressing loads. The document concludes that the third approach fully accounts for secondary forces.

    Hyperstatic (Secondary) Forces
    Only - 3 approaches
    Hyperstatic Forces
    Approach 1 - via hyperstatic load
    case
    ● This approach may not be always reliable when
    substructure is modeled.
    Hyperstatic moment
    Hyperstatic axial force (essentially zero as expected)
    Hyperstatic Forces
    Approach 2 - by checking "Include
    Tendon Forces" on the Bridge
    Object Response Display form
    Hyperstatic Forces
    Approach 3 - as a Net Resultant of
    Design Section Forces
    ● Flexural design request check for prestressed
    concrete box girder superstructure fully
    accounts for secondary (hyperstatic) forces by
    calculating the demand forces as a sum of both
    the forces in the concrete and the tendons
    (which is by definition the hyperstatic force).
    ● Therefore, the hyperstatic forces can be
    indirectly obtained by plotting the demand
    forces for the flexural design request as shown
    on the following pages.
    Define load combination containing only the load case in
    which the prestressing is applied.
    Define dummy flexural design request for the load combination containing
    only the prestress load case
    The demand moments for this design request are obtained as a net resultant of forces
    (in concrete and tendons) acting on the cross-section, which matches the definition of
    the hyperstatic moment.
