How to Model the Girder and Deck Connection in Composite Bridge?

The way to simulate the connection between the girder and the deck will depend on how we construct the model. In the 2D all-frame composite bridge model shown in Figure 1, all the elements are connected in the grid within the same plane. Because it was modeled with the "all frame" model type in the midas Civil composite bridge wizard, it only consists of a 2-D grid frame composed of beam elements. In this scenario, the software considers the composite section as a lump section that incorporates both the girder section and the deck section. This means that the composite action is transformed into equivalent section properties in midas Civil.
