About Transfer Loading Types
Almost all of the loading types previously discussed are available with a "transfer" variation. The transfer variations represent loads transferred from the structure above onto the level under consideration (via columns or walls). A few loading types are not available with a transfer variation, or have a somewhat different meaning with a transfer variation. These are:
- Self-Weight
- There is no transfer variation of this loading type.
- Balance
- The transfer variation of this loading type is for loads generated by the tendons in the structure above the level under consideration. Unlike the non-transfer balance type: multiple loadings of this type may exist; the loadings do not contain loads generated from the tendons; and the loadings of this type are user-editable. Loadings of this type are considered in the calculation of hyperstatic effects.
- Hyperstatic
- There is no transfer variation of this loading type.
- Stressing Dead
- There is no transfer variation of this loading type.
- Temperature
- There is no transfer variation of this loading type.
- Shrinkage
- There is no transfer variation of this loading type.
