Precast/Prestressed Girder Help

Beam Tab

This is the final screen in the tab series, as shown below. Begin by selecting the span and beam from the Span and Beam lists (or select the particular beam you want to design by clicking on it in the display window located at the top of the screen). The selected beam will be indicated by red. All beams with strand patterns are marked by a blue dot. Double clicking one of the dots launches the Strand Pattern. If a strand pattern has already been defined, the strand pattern will display along with a design summary showing release and final stresses and ultimate moment status at the particular location, and also amongst all check points for the selected beam.

In Precast/Prestressed Girder, you can print individual results by clicking Print. This activates the Print screen. Choose to send the results to the printer or export the results to an Excel worksheet. Note that if you select the To Excel File option, you must designate a file name in the text box. The analysis factors and project parameters can be modified by clicking Analysis Factors or Project Parameters. The screens and options for each button are explained next.
