Substructure Help

Material Button / Materials Screen

This button allows you to define the concrete strength, concrete density, and concrete modulus of elasticity, steel yield strength, and concrete type.

To start, click Material to activate the Materials screen. Input the values in the appropriate fields. Click OK to accept all data and return to the Geometry screen.

Note: Substructure automatically calculates the elasticity; but these values can be edited manually.
Nomenclature
Concrete type Type of concrete used.
Concrete strength 28-day compressive strength of concrete.
Concrete density Unit weight of concrete.
Concrete modulus Modulus of elasticity of 28-day strength concrete.
Steel strength Steel yield strength.
