Materials Terms
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit Weight | Density of concrete |
| Strength | Compressive strength of concrete |
| Elasticity | Modulus of elasticity. The program, as specified in IRC 18-2000, clause 10.2, automatically calculates the elasticity; however, you can manually edit the value. |
| Tendon ID | The name of the strand types in the strand library. |
| Depress Point Fraction | For draped patterns only. The location of the depress point, measured from the end of the precast beam, as a fraction of the precast length. If equal to 0.5, it indicates a one-point depressed pattern. If it is less than 0.5, it indicates a two-point depressed pattern with the points symmetrical. The value cannot be greater than 0.5. For example, if the value is 0.4, then the pattern is depressed at two-points: 0.4L and 0.6L, measured from the end of the precast beam where L is the precast length. |
| Midspan Increment | For draped patterns only. The distance between rows, at midspan, used in the automatic draped strand pattern generation, typically 2 inches or 51 mm. |
| Debonding Length Increment | Defines the debonding/shielding length increment used when generating automatic debonding. The debonded lengths generated are multiples of the debonding/shielding length increment. |
| Maximum Auto-Debonding Percentage |
Per Row, % Enter the maximum percentage of straight strands in each row that can be debonded. Total, % Enter the maximum percentage of the total number of straight strands that can be debonded. |
