General

The General part is used for setting the particular Cross calculation M+V+T 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 in the Sections Definition dialog window 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

Description

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:

Parameter

Unit

Description

MEd

kNm

Design value of the bending moment of the considered cross section (in the extreme limit state). The positive MEd moment is regarded as an established moment area, the negative MEd moment is a support moment

VEd

kN

Design value of the shear force of the considered cross section (in the ultimate limit state)

TEd

kNm

Design value of the rotation moment of the considered cross section

MRep (for Cracking check)

kNm

Bending moment
