Group data

Bending moment redistribution ratio Beta can be defined in tab Group data of General grid. Support size in tab Supp. of General grid must be provided before it.

Bending moment redistribution ratio Beta

Support size

 

If support size will be not defined cell for Beta ratio will be disabled and redistribution will be not performed.

 

Control of cracking management:

It exist some differences in calculations of minimum amount of reinforcement to control cracking process in EN 1992-1-1 and in NEN-EN 1992-1-1 (7.3.2). These differences are represented in the national application document NEN-EN 1992-1-1+C2:2011/NB:2011.

According to NEN-EN 1992-1-1+C2:2011/NB:2011 7.3.2(1) due to positive environment conditions and additional reinforcement corrosion protection calculations for minimum reinforcement area to control cracking can be skipped. It is possible to define such situation in program by using checkbox control "Crack management".

Also according to NEN-EN 1992-1-1+C2:2011/NB:2011 7.4.3(4) if minimum amount of reinforcement to control cracking can be skipped it is allowed to use flexural tensile strength of reinforced concrete fctm,fl instead of mean axial tensile strength fctm can be used for member deflection calculations.
