8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 5 • REQUIREMENTS A prerequisite for the execution of an analysis scenario for the assessment and redesign of an existing structure is the existence of reinforcement in the cross-sections, which results from dimensioning ONLY with Eurocode 2 scenario with adaptation of the strengths of Steel and Concrete materials to the strengths of the existing structure. The materials to be used must NOT be B and STI grade (old material grades) but the adjustments of strengths and individual safety factors must made based on the new materials. The scenarios EC-8_Greek: • Resilient, • Elastic (Static & Dynamic), • Pre-Control (Static & Dynamic), listed in the CAN.EPE. OBSERVATION: Any other analysis of EC-8_(Italia, Cyprus, Austria) • Resilient, • Elastic (Static & Dynamic), listed in the corresponding appendix of the EC-8. The EC-8_General scenario • Resilient, • Elastic (Static & Dynamic), listed in the GENERAL EC-8 (without the state appendices). ATTENTION : • The materials must be in accordance with the selected regulation, and when entering data, all cross-sections must have the correct grades (C for EC8 scenarios ). It is reminded that the materials to be used must NOT be of B and STI quality (old material grades) but the adjustments of strengths and individual safety factors must be made based on the new materials. A prerequisite for running all analysis scenarios with Type Elastic (Static & Dynamic) & Resilient , is: • the existence of armaments; and • the calculation of the corresponding strength moments.
