Actions, Design Situations
The actions according to EN 1991-1-1 are
simply mapped to the load cases by the user. The program
then automatically creates the decisive design values for
the ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state
while considering the safety factors and combination
coefficients. For each combination different design
situations can be defined for the construction and end
states. When conducting the check, the extreme value
deriving from all combinations and situations applies.
Optionally, the checks can be carried out for all possible
combinations of internal forces.
Checks at the ultimate limit state
- Minimum reinforcement against failure
without warning
- Bending with or without normal force or
normal force only
- Lateral force under consideration of the
minimum level of reinforcement
- Pure torsion and torsion with lateral
force
- Checks against punching shear
Checks at the serviceability
limit state
- Limiting the concrete compressive
stresses
- Limiting the reinforcing steel stresses
- Limiting the prestressing steel stresses
- Minimum reinforcement for the crack
width limitation
- Limiting the crack width via direct
calculation
- Decompression check
- Limiting deformations

Ultimate limit state
The dimensioning of the reinforcement is
performed separately on a per checks basis for the modeled
design situations. This is determined individually for each
combination of internal forces. The final result is derived
from the extreme value of all calculated reinforcements.
Serviceability
If required, the checks are carried out in
state II under consideration of the calculated maximum
reinforcement. In order to attain the required crack width,
the minimum reinforcement is increased, if necessary.
Check situations
The following table demonstrates how the situations are
used in the various checks. The numbers refer to the
chapters of EN 1992-1-1.

Results
The calculated reinforcement can be output
graphically (contours, color gradient, section or
numerically) or in table form. This can be selected either
for individual checks or for the entire reinforcement. The
checks are documented in a detailed log. |
