Hi!

Is it possible to achieve superelevation of the deck of a bridge in CSI Bridge (or older versions of SAP2000) by inclining the top slab while keeping the girders vertical? I see that the option to superelevate the deck rotates the girders as well (but I don't want this to happen). I am modeling the bridge with precast I girders and top slab.

Best regards,
Brisid
