Cross calculation Mu capacity

The General part is used for setting the particular Cross calculation Mu capacity parameters.

 

General options:

Parameter

Unit

Description

Section name

-

Name of cross sections (parametric and standard) are supported by EN 1992-1-1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1992-1-1. Items listed in a Section name depend on chosen code or/and national annex

Concrete

-

Concrete material name is using for code check calculation and supported by EN 1992-1-1#3.1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1992-1-1#3.1. Items listed in a Concrete drop-down list depend on chosen code or/and national annex

Structural member

-

Structural member means beam or slab

 

Reinforcement:

Description

Steel

-

Reinforcement steel code

Nets - Include/Exclude reinforcement nets

Trans. reinf

mm

Diameter of the stirrups. Conventional sign of stirrups diameter:

Conventional sign of stirrups diameter

Cover top/bottom/side

mm

Cover properties

Cover drawing

Exposure class top

Exposure class bottom

-

Identification of the relevant exposure classes is one of the building blocks used to determine the concrete requirements and reinforcement cover. For more details see Exposure classes

Cement class

-

Cement class means S - slow early strength, N - normal early strength, R - rapid early strength

 

Forces:

The Axial force Nc;Ed directed perpendicular to the cross section of the beam/slab. Virtual model of the N'Ed force in the 3D-object:

Axial force Nc;Ed

 

The N;Ed normal force is accepted as tension if N;Ed>0. If N;Ed<0 then it is considered the compression is established
