MDX Bracing
MDX has plate elements for regular concentric beam model. However, this model has flared girders. So....there is no method for modeling the deck in this model. I've been working on ways to account for deck stiffness but am getting hung up on the assumption for effective width of the deck in...- PhredCutter

Bridge Diaphragms
Designing skewed, steel bridges using MDX. The diaphragm connection loads seem absurdly high. MDX assumes the diaphragm connection to the girder is fully fixed. So, as loads travel transverse to the bridge, the diaphragms transfer the loads. The LRFD version of AASHTO requires this for cases...- PhredCutter
