Can MIDAS perform any code and/or stability checks on the non-composite sections of the girders and/or the straddle piers at the end of each stage?

Answer:
Code check on the non-composite sections defined from the DB/User tab of the Section dialog can be performed as per AASHTO-LRFD 12.


However, it is not possible at the end of each stage. It is only possible at the end of the last stage, which corresponds to PostCS in the program.


As a workaround, we can specify any stage as the last stage in the 'Construction Stage Analysis Control' dialog. Then, you can perform code check for the particular stage.
