General description of Auxiliary results in Detail application

Let's go through all three options of the results.

Deformation

The deformation in the auxiliary is non-linearly calculated (plastic strains allowed) for ULS combinations and for individual load cases, as opposed to the deflection results, which are calculated linearly for the characteristic combinations. The creep coefficient is not considered in the auxiliary deformation results.

We can display Ux or Uz deformation.

Reinforcement ratio

There are options to choose an effective reinforcement ratio or a geometric reinforcement area.

•  ρ_eff - effective reinforcement ratio - The ratio between the reinforcement bar area and effective concrete area acting in tension
• ρ_geom - geometric reinforcement area - The ratio between the reinforcement bar area and nearby proportional concrete area in a given zone.

Tensor concrete values

There are again several options for how to display tensor concrete values:

• Principal stresses in concrete σ₁ and σ₂. Note that the principal stress σ₂ is the same stress presented in the Strength results.
• Principal strains in concrete ε₁ and ε₂. Note that the principal strain ε₂ is the same strain presented in the Strength results.
• Moreover, the possibility to display directions of principal strains has been implemented. The advantage of this feature is that the directions include compression and tension.

These values are non-linearly calculated for ULS combinations and for individual load cases.
