Tendon primary midas civil

The link below includes relevant documents. Reinforcement only can be seen in Section manager as shown below. You may assign the group using the table as shown below. Not all the boundary conditions and loadings has been assigned to the construction stage in your model file. We may consider the design function without construction stages in the future. However, as you mentioned, if you don't want to simulate all the sequences, if can include all of element, boundary condition and loading to single construction stage and implement PSC design. It is more accurate results especially with Time Dependent Material. And the design function applies effective prestressing forces including tendon losses. After editting the data (May be using Excel spread sheet), click 'Run' then modified profile will be applied to the model.Ĭonstruction Stage Analysis function generate and calculate tendon primary and secondary effect seperately.

All the tendon profile can be shown as text format if you search '*TDN-PROFILE' and click on 'Insert Data'. The bending moment capacity, Mu must be greater than the ULS external effects bending moment plus the tendon secondary effects bending moment. You might need to utilize MCT command Shell for multiple tendon profile. In midas Civil, in ULS, we should not consider Tendon Primary, as the demand gets altered. For instance, if the debonding length is 1m for the tendon below at the begining, x coordinate has to be 1m. If you don't use the wizard function, the tendon profile has to be excluding debonding area.
