Task: Design Parameters of Area Elements
2014 / 2 Design Area Elements
Main reinforcement = direction local x-axis
Transverse reinforcement = direction local y-axis
In BEMESS both the directions of the
reinforcement layers and the terms upper and
lower are oriented at the local coordinate
systems; lower is at the side of positive z axis.

3 tendons with distance of 1.40 m
Cross section 4,0 m x 1,0 m
modelled with QUAD elements of
1,0 m thickness
The influence of every single
tendon will be distributed by a
triangular shape with
2 * 2.0 * QUAD-thickness

nstr = number of acting tendons in element influence radius
az = per m distributed active prestressed tendon steel area
(AZ distributed triangle wise on 2.0*element thickness right+left)
z = averaged local z coordinate (measured from element center line)
depsz = averaged increase of tendon strain
dsigz = applied increase of stress in prestressed tendon steel, limited to
fym/gammas - sigp0 with fym=0.5*(fyc+ft) and sigp0=prestress stress
ZZ = averaged lever arm of tendons
delta_as = maximum reinforcement reduction due to tendon stress increase
