Section Properties
If concrete or "other" members are included in the model, a listing of the column, beam and brace section properties defined for these members is included.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Shape | This is the shape of a concrete member. Columns and braces may be Rectangle or Round. Beams may be Rectangle or T-Section. |
| Depth/Diam | This is the depth, or major axis dimension, of a rectangular concrete column, beam or brace, or the diameter of a round concrete column or brace. |
| Width | This is the width, or minor axis dimension, of a rectangular concrete column, beam or brace. |
| Flange Overhang | This is the flange overhang distance, beyond the side of the beam stem, of a concrete T-Section. Calc means that the distance will be automatically calculated per the Code requirements based on the adjacent beam geometry. |
| Flange Thickness | This is the flange thickness of a concrete T-Section. Calc means that the thickness will be automatically determined from the slab thickness assigned in the vicinity of the beam. |
| Web-Thk | This is the web thickness of a concrete T-Section. |
| Cracked Factor | The moments of inertia of the concrete sections (Ixx and Iyy), cross-section area (A) and section torsional constant (J) are multiplied by corresponding factors to account for loss of section due to cracking. |
| H | This is the depth, or major axis dimension, of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| B | This is the width, or minor axis dimension, of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| Area | This is the gross area of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| Ix | This is the major axis moment of inertia of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| Iy | This is the minor axis moment of inertia of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| J | This is the torsional constant of the cross section of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| Asx | This is the major axis shear area of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
| Asy | This is the minor axis shear area of an "other" column, beam or brace. |
