10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

1.3.3.3 Economic growth In the field " Iconic Magnification " check the checkbox if a satisfactory check is required: • (EAK) If you select the increase of the intersection, you have the option to set different seismic behaviour coefficient q per direction (qx and qz). • (EC8 §5.4.2.2.2.) structures with DCM and DCH require "Capacity Design" The value of γRD for overstrength is automatically set as a function of ductility: γRD=1 ,0 for DCM / γRD=1 ,2 for DCH . 1.3.3.4 Cranking For the control in " Rotate " check the checkbox: • (EAK) "Control" and "Pre-Control". When you have only the "Control" option enabled, the contribution of the concrete, i.e. Vcd = 0 (i.e., it is assumed that the shear stress received by the concrete is zero) and then the calculation of the connectors is performed. ATTENTION: If both the "Check" and "Pre-check" options are enabled, the program checks if a "Torsion Check" is required. - If a check is required, set Vcd = 0 when calculating the shear connectors. - If no check is required, the program determines the value of Vcd and then calculates the connectors. • Activating only the "Pre-check" option without simultaneously activating of the "Rotate" option is meaningless. • (EC) "Check" The program considers Vcd = 0 and calculates the clips. The next section concerns the checks in the limit state of functionality, OKL , you specify whether you want to check for cracking by ticking or not the corresponding option, as well as the minimum crack width by entering its value in the box next to the indication "Crack width (mm)". The program shall take as default value a crack width equal to 0,3 mm, as specified in the relevant chapter of the Eurocode. 1.3.3.5 Functionality For the OKL , activate the controls " Expansion " and • (EAK) possibly modify the crack width (EC)
