Accident

  • The stress levels in the structure are determined by the moment envelope for the rule set (failure could occur on both faces).
  • Reduced γ m factors are used in the strength calculations. For reinforcement γ m = 1.0 (BS EN 1990:2002).
  • Reinforcement location is determined by the Min. Reinforcement Location setting.
  • The minimum tensile force that an internal tie is capable of resisting varies between the BS EN 1990-2002 and the Generic version, which uses the Eurocode general recommendation.
  • Code Rules are applied as shown in the following table.
