Developers and distributors assume no responsibility for the use of MIDAS Family Program (midas Civil, midas
FEA, midas FX+, midas Gen, midas Drawing, midas SDS, midas GTS, SoilWorks, midas NFX ; hereinafter referred
to as MIDAS package) or for the accuracy or validity of any results obtained from the MIDAS package.
Developers and distributors shall not be liable for loss of prot, loss of business, or nancial loss which may be
caused directly or indirectly by the MIDAS package, when used for any purpose or use, due to any defect or

become familiar with the users manuals. The user shall also independently verify the results produced by the
program.
Foreword
The objective of this design guide is to outline the design algorithms
which are applied in midas Civil nite element analysis and design
system. The guide aims to provide sucient information for the
user to understand the scope, limitations and formulas applied in
the design features and to provide relevant references to the
clauses in the Design standards.
The design guide covers prestressed box girder, composite steel box
girder and composite plate girder as per Eurocode.
It is recommended that you read this guide and review corresponding tutorials, which are found on our web site,
http://www.MidasUser.com, before designing. Additional information can be found in the online help available in the programs main
menu.
Organization
This guide is designed to help you quickly become productive with
the design options of EN 1992-2 and EN 1994-2.
Chapter 1 provides detailed descriptions of the design parameters,
ULS/SLS checks, design outputs used for prestressed box girder
design to EN 1992-2.
ULS/SLS checks, design outputs used for composite steel box girder
ULS/SLS checks, design outputs used for composite plate girder
Although there is a huge overlap between Chapter 2 and Chapter 3
due to the similarity of structural types, the composite steel box
girder and the composite plate girder are explained in two separate
chapters for the convenience of the readers.
As the table of contents is printed on the folded ap, the readers
can access the table of contents easily from any page of the book.
