10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 112 OBSERVATIONS: Compared to the older versions, changes have been made in the way the results of the reinforcements are presented The titles above "Tensile" - "Compression" have been changed to "Up" - "Down" and identify the position of the reinforcements in the plate. Only one torque value is nowwritten, the sign of which determines whether the reinforcement is to be placed on top or underneath • For a positive torque value, the tensile force is lower and the reinforcement enters accordingly. • For a negative torque value, the tensile force is higher and the reinforcement is introduced accordingly. • It is possible to have a positive value, mainly in the support, and a requirement for compressive reinforcement, in which case required reinforcements are indicated both above and below. • Especially for the poles dimensioning scenario, the reinforcement of the plates is considered equal, i.e. half of the reinforcement on the support is not taken into account, and where required, more support reinforcement is placed. 5.3.2.1 Deformation Control In the new versions of SCADA Pro has been added the Deformation Control on the plates. The deformation check is based on 7.4.2 and 7.4.3 of EC2 and is presented at the end of the results of each plate and if the scenario is not ECOS. The results of the two tests are shown separately. In the first check, a minimum proposed thickness is obtained, but it cannot be proposed in the initial identification of the plate because its calculation requires its reinforcements. In the calculation of the first check, no intensive quantities are used, while the second check is carried out with the functional combination(s). 1. In the deformation check there are 2 checks and to have proficiency I need to satisfy both 2 2. There is one case where the 2nd check cannot be performed and in this case we write d=0 and nothing in the sufficiency. In that case alone we are satisfied with the result of the 1st check 3. Manually changing the placed reinforcement affects the results if the fg is not 500 (something we added in the latest versions of SCADA Pro) in accordance with the regulation where indicated:
