10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

- 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. 1.3.4.1.3 Near Pillars There is also a check for "Close Pillars" . Activate the checkbox in "Check" and enter the parameters for short columns in the data: The first option relates to the limit of the shear ratio below which a column is considered short. The default value under the Regulation is 2,5. The next option is whether or not stiff pedestals are present (their existence requires the second condition of paragraph 18.4.9.1 to be satisfied) The next option is the limit of the reduced axial load. For short poles the default by regulation is 0.40. The next option is the shear strength reduction factor and its default value by regulation is 0.8. The growth factor γd is taken into account in the calculation of the joint in the case of wall fillings that do not continue over the entire height. If you want to calculate a joint, select the check box "Joint calculation" Finally you set the height of the wall Ht in meters. This height is taken into account in the calculation of the joint. After you have sized the poles, in the results display the last section is for the previously mentioned checks.
