Design Strip: Select the design strip(s) for which Precompression results are to be displayed.
All: Select all available design strips.
None: Clear the current design strip selection.
Inverse: Select all unselected design strips and deselect the currently selected strips.
Prev: Restore the previously selected design strips.
Select Type: Specify the selection method used to filter design strips.
Add: Add the selected items to the current selection set.
Delete: Remove the selected items from the current selection set.
Replace: Replace the current selection with the newly selected items.
Intersect: Retain only items that exist in both the current and newly selected sets.
Reset: Restore all selection settings to their default values.
OK: Generate the Selfweight Balance Ratio Table using the specified selections.
Cancel: Close the dialog without generating the table.
Table: Result – [Precompression]
The generated table contains the following Precompression components for the selected design strip locations:
Design Strip: Identification number of the design strip.
Story: Story level containing the design strip.
Dir.: Direction of the design strip (X or Y).
Span: Span associated with the strip location.
Design Section: Design section number along the strip where the results are reported.
Fptl (kips): Effective prestressing force acting at the design section after considering applicable prestress losses. This force is used to calculate the average precompression stress in the concrete section.
Section Area (in²): Cross-sectional area associated with the design strip at the reported design section.
Precompression (kips/in²): Average compressive stress induced in the concrete section by the effective prestressing force, calculated as the ratio of effective prestressing force to section area.
