Tendon Stressing [SIG]

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 (%): Jacking force at the start point of the tendon.

Stressing at End (%): Jacking force at the end point of the tendon.

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.
