10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 77 5.2.1.2 Calculation of Loading Lanes According to Annex I of EC2 the flat plate is divided into Loading Lanes. These are the areas automatically created by the program on either side of the Support Lines , according to Figure I.1 of EC2. You select the Calculate Load Strips command and the program automatically creates them. Each Loading Strip is divided into sections along its length perpendicular to the Support Line. In each section, Scada integrates the internal forces of the finite surface elements it intersects. This integration yields the bending moment about the axis of the section. This intensive quantity is used to calculate the reinforcement in each individual section. 5.2.1.3 Display X, Z You choose to display the Charge Strips in both directions to display them. Loading strips along the X and Z axis
