Question Why does elastic compression loss (e.g. loss of pre-stressing in previously grouted tendons due to stressing of further tendons) not appear in internal force results of structural elements? Answer The influence of prestressing losses in…

Question How are elastic compression losses in tendons due to initial pre-stressing and subsequent loads handled in RM Bridge? Where can I see the results, in particular due to stressing of other tendons and due to time-dependent effects of creep, shrinkage…
