Hi,
I am designing a bridge with draped strands in a prestressed concrete beam.
Typically the owner likes to have the bottom strands to 0.75, and they like to have 4 strands in the top stressed to 0.17.
When I add in the top row, the default is 0.75. However, when I change the pull percent to 0.17, the final tension at midspan remains identical to what it was before.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Please change the Pull % for top and bottom strands in Strand Pattern --> Debond/Pull% --> Pull %
If the program does not retain the changes made in the Debond dialog then follow this procedure mentioned in the below mentioned Bentley Communities link.
The procedure is not exactly related to above issue but needs to be improvised.
