10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

Depending on the case and the conditions that are met, you can use either the combinations of static or dynamic to dimension the superstructure (as long as in the analysis you have "opened" the springs (not the footing)). You can also have run analyses with scenarios of different codes (e.g. EAK and EC8) and by dimensioning with the respective combinations you can see the differences that result. In the "Combinations" field the list of all combinations is displayed. The first number is the number of the combination and second, in brackets, is the number of the equation from which we obtain The "L/A" column indicates the marginal state of the combination and the "Against" column indicates which direction is involved for the satisfactory control. Thanks to the bar: you can modify both the limit state and the direction. In the column "L/A" you specify whether the specific combination is Failure or Functionality. If you want to make a change, you select the combination and press the key ή . The next column "Against" is about the satisfaction check and in which direction the particular combination is involved. By selecting the corresponding button , , , you select the direction in which this combination will participate in the performance of the satisfactory control. Finally, by selecting the you specify that the a particular combination will not participate in the satisfaction check. (See below 1.3.7 Capability Node)
