5 Prestressed concrete Checks of prestressed concrete This Scia Engineer module is intended for experienced users with good technical knowledge of the calculation of prestressed concrete structures including their time-dependant effects. The user may want to perform checks of strength, deflections and stability according the EN code for a prestressed concrete structure, because the design has to fulfil the regulations set by the European Union. Both initial and resultant state of the stresses, strains, etc. can be reviewed. The initial state is the state of the crosssection wherein all permanent loads including prestressing are applied. The resultant state is the state of the crosssection wherein all loads (permanent and variable including prestressing) are applied. The operating stress in the prestressed tendons/strands is the stress including the losses due to creep, shrinkage and relaxation. Moreover, the losses due to elastic deformation are also taken into account. The moment capacity of a whole beam can be calculated for the resultant vector moment of My and Mz. Also the capacity of a single section can be checked using the interaction diagrams of N, My and Mz. The allowable stresses are checked according to article The influence of the environmental classes, amount of soft steel reinforcement and the location of the prestressing reinforcement can be verified for individual construction stage. Limitations The checks of prestressed structures can be performed in a frame XZ, frame XYZ, grid XY, plate XY and general XYZ. The checks of prestressed structures can be used for composite (concrete/concrete) cross-sections only. The checks of prestressed structures can be used for beam members only. It is not possible to check lightweight concrete members. It is not possible to check plain and lightly reinforced concrete members. The anchorage length is not automatically calculated. It is not possible to check deep beams. It is not possible to use checks of prestressed structures after a physically non-linear (deflections/internal forces) calculation. It is not possible to check the fire resistance of the structure. Prerequisites IMPORTANT: The project with prestressed concrete 1D elements must be calculated with respect to construction stages (preferably TDA). Crack control Handling with the function is analogous to Checking of limit strain. The values offered for display are naturally different. Limitations The calculation of crack width is performed ONLY for the axial force and bending moment My. In addition, the moment My must be in the plane of symmetry of the cross-section. If either of the two conditions is not met, the program issues a corresponding warning. Two moment load The calculation of crack width assumes that the load which the cross-section is subjected to is acting in the XZ-plane (in the local coordinate system) of the beam. The load is assumed to be composed of one bending moment about the local Y-axis of the beam. The analysed section, however, is subjected to two bending moments. Non-symmetrical result plane The calculation of crack width assumes that the load which the cross-section is subjected to is acting in the XZ-plane (in the local coordinate system) of the beam. The resultant strain-plane is inclined from the XZ-plane of the bending moment, probably due to asymmetry in reinforcement, due to an opening, etc. Values w As max. distance Crack width Required reinforcement area with respect to crack formation Max. distance of reinforcement bars 5
