Tendon Stressing

For additional loads that arise due to using Tendons for structural elements can be calculated and defined using this object.

Stage: This parameter can be used to specify the stage at which the load is initially applied to the structure.

Tendon: Selecting the modeled tendon that will be used for load calculations is done by specifying this parameter.

Stressing at Start (%): The percentage of the total design prestressing force applied to the tendons at the beginning of the prestressing process can be specified using this parameter.

Stressing at End (%): The percentage of the total design prestressing force that is achieved after the concrete has cured and the prestressing operation is complete can be specified using this parameter.

Instantaneous Elastic Shortening Loss: The immediate loss of prestressing force in the tendons due to the elastic shortening of the concrete upon the application of the prestressing force can be defined using this parameter.
