Deep Beam Analysis & Stage Stressing

Nicholas Smith — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 11:32:10 GMT

Hi Support Team,

I have been modelling a large 3m deep transfer PT beam. (Screen shot below). Is there any Bentley software that would allow be analyse the 'True' bending stress as explained in section 52.4.2 of the user manual. Alternatively can you some how specify horizontal element divisions in RAMConcept?

Additionally the PT tendons need to be staged stressed. Is there a way to simulate staged stressing of tendons in RAMConcept? i.e. Apply varying Balance loading's.

(Please note I am designing this to AS3600)

Thanks

Nick
