Stressing sequence

Parameters

Setting

Description

Name

Name for specifying a particular stressing sequence to be assigned to a respective tendon profile

Type

Characterizes the type of stressing:

Setting	Description
/ Left	Stressing from left end (begin of bridge)
/ Right	Stressing from right end (end of bridge)
/ LeftandRight	Stressing from both ends (first start, and then end of bridge)

Wedge slip

Amount of wedge slip to be considered

Setting	Description
First stressing	Magnitude of the initial stressing force/stress to be applied given as a factor of the defined Ref. force and Ref. stress

Additional stressing actions can be defined as follows:

Setting	Description
Int. Release	Intermediate release Magnitude of the stressing force/stress after releasing the tendon given as a factor of the defined Ref. force and Ref. stress The input defines the result within the tendon (peak after the influence length of the release action).
Re-stressing	Magnitude of the stressing force/stress of the second stressing action given as a factor of the defined Ref. force and Ref. stress

Setting

Description

Int. Release

Intermediate release

Magnitude of the stressing force/stress after releasing the tendon given as a factor of the defined Ref. force and Ref. stress

The input defines the result within the tendon (peak after the influence length of the release action).

Re-stressing

Magnitude of the stressing force/stress of the second stressing action given as a factor of the defined Ref. force and Ref. stress
