10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 17 1.3.5 Strength calculation EXCEPTION: This command is mainly for existing buildings and allows the recalculation of the strengths of the beams after the manual modification of their reinforcement. After the pre-estimation process is completed, i.e. the dimensioning of the structure and adaptation of the reinforcements to the existing situation and before the creation of the pushover analysis scenario, it is necessary to precede the "Strength Calculation" by selecting the corresponding command: "Dimensioning">"Beams">"Strength calculation" Through this command, the program calculates the M-N interaction diagrams at the beginning - middle - end (3 points) of the beams. 1.3. § Calculation of M-N interaction diagrams For the calculation of the strength moments with given N-My-Mz OBSERVATION: For the Beams the strong axis is Z and therefore the intensive that I check is Mz. To read the intensives: -For inelastic analysis, open the TXT Tensors File which includes the intensities of all members.
