Description
|
Action
|
Code of the selected Action. It is possible to switch to
another action without leaving and re-entering the input function.
|
Action will be skipped (Option)
|
The action will be skipped in the calculation process if
the option is selected.
|
Input-1 > Superposition file name
|
Name of the superposition file to be used for the ultimate
capacity check or reinforcement design (ULS combination).
Note: For sections with built-in stresses due to stage-wise
erection, the program takes the "joined" results. I.e. it is assumed, that
in-built stresses will be redistributed in the ultimate limit state such that
their distribution corresponds to the built-in-one state (plane strain in the
composite section).
|
Input-1 > UltNxMyMz||Rein
|
Selection of the sub-function to be performed
- Ult: Ultimate
load check for the current cross section for forces from specified envelope.
The program calculates the plastic strain state yielded by the defined ULS
combination.
- Nx: Capacity
calculation normal force. Defines max/min Nx for My, Mz of ULS combination.
- My: Capacity
calculation My. Defines max/min My for Nx, Mz of ULS combination.
- Mz: Capacity
calculation Mz. Defines max/min Mz for Nx, My of ULS combination.
- Rein: Option
for performing a reinforcement design if additional mild steel reinforcement is
required for equilibrium within ultimate strain limits.
|
Input-2 > (Initial strain loadcase)
|
Optional entry. Name of the load case, which is used to
calculate the initial strain of the tendons (translation in stress-strain curve
for ultimate load analysis).
Note: If a * is entered the program takes the initial tendon
strains from the superposition 1; if empty (default), from the summation
load-case specified in the Recalc pad.
|
Input-3 > (RmSet)
|
Required for ultimate limit checks for columns with
consideration of shape imperfections (in acc. (with OENORM and DIN). All
required parameters have to be prepared in the RmSet:
- Accidental
imperfection as RM-Variable (formula as specified in the design code)
- Geometric
parameters (buckling length, definition of element series) for buckling around
Y
- Geometric
parameters (buckling length, definition of element series) for buckling around
Z
|
Input-3 > (Force Component)
|
- Total:Normal -
for non-composite elements (for composite this option gives the joined results)
- Total:Split -
for part elements of composites
- Total:Join - for
composite elements.
|
Output-1 > (Superposition file)
|
Optional entry. Name of a superposition file for storing
the calculated capacity values. Not used for reinforcement design and standard
ultimate load check. If the file already exists, the capacities will be
superimposed with SupOr. This allows for gathering the least favorite capacity
values (Nx, My, Mz) in a common superposition file.
|
Output-2 > List File
|
Name of list file, whereto results of fiber stress check/
reinforcement design will be written.
Default (*): xxULS.lst with xx denoting the sub-function
(ult, rei). i.e we get the name ultULS.lst if an ultimate check and capacity
calculation is performed, and the name reiULS.lst if a reinforcement design is
performed. No listing file will be created if there is no input.
