Input

When you execute the Plate > Force & Stress Table function, the Records Activation Dialog is displayed. Here, you can select the target nodes, elements, load conditions, construction stages, and more, and then click the OK button. If you click Cancel, the table will be generated for all the targets, which may take a considerable amount of time depending on the case.

NOTE.png Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.

Refer to Usage of Table Tool and check the following data:

NOTE.png When performing moving load analysis, only the member forces per unit length are required. Therefore, when using the Plate Force (Local, Global) Table to output nodal forces, the results will be displayed as '0' since they are not relevant in this case.

NOTE.png The Stage and Step columns in the Analysis Result Table are produced for a construction stage analysis or Hydration Heat Analysis. The Step column is produced also for a geometric nonlinear analysis.
The calculation method for principal stress, von Mises stress, and maximum shear stress based on the load combination type is described in the "Combinations" section.

Slab Design Forces

 

midas Civil provide design forces in the reinforcement directions for skew reinforcement according to the Wood-Armer formula.

 

From the analysis results, following plate forces about the local axis are calculated.

  • mxx
  • myy
  • mxy

In order to calculate design forces in the reinforcement direction, angle α and φ will be taken as following figure:

F-Pl_FM-W-Pic3.png

x, y: local axis of plate element

1, 2: reinforcement direction

α: angle between local x-direction and reinforcement direction 1

φ: angle between reinforcement direction 1 and reinforcement direction 2

 

Firstly, internal forces (mxx, myy and mxy) are transformed into the a-b coordinate system.

Then, Wood-Armer moments are calculated as follows:

NOTE.png 2
Values of Ma, Mb and Mab are repeated four times in the table, because for moving load analysis, midas Civil takes into account different combinations of concurrent forces in order to achieve maximum wood armer moment for top or bottom rebar parts in any specified direction. E.g. the combination of moments to be used for maximizing “top dir-1” and “bot dir-1” moments may be quite different since the concurrent forces required to maximize these moments can be different.
