Function
- Check the tendon stress limits as per AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (2006) in a spreadsheet table format.
- Table Tool in midas Civil offers a variety of powerful, built-in functions. Refer to Usage of Table Tool for detail directions:
Call
From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis result] > [Table] group > [Results Tables] > [Tendon] > [Tendon Stress Limit Check]
Input
Select elements and enter the factors for the Tendon Stress Limits.
At anch. : Factor for stress limits at anchorages immediately after anchor set (only for post-tensioning)
Away from anch. : Factor for stress limits elsewhere along the length of the member, away from anchorages, immediately after anchor set (only for post-tensioning)
At service : Factor for stress limits at the service limit state, after losses
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and check the following data:
Tendon : Tendon name
Tendon Stress
f_p1 (N/mm2) : Maximum stress in tendon at both anchorages immediately after anchor set (only for post-tensioning)
f_p2 (N/mm2) : Maximum stress in tendon along the length of the member away from the anchorages immediately after anchor set (only for post-tensioning)
f_pe (N/mm2) : Maximum stress in tendon after all losses, which is obtained at the last construction stage
Tendon Stress Limit
Immediately after anchor set
At anch. : Stress limits for prestressing tendons at anchorages immediately after anchor set
Away from anch. : Stress limits for prestressing tendons elsewhere along the length of the member away from anchorages immediately after anchor set
At service : Stress limits for prestressing tendons at the service limit state, after losses
