The display of the results is very similar to 2D Detail. However, there are some major differences, especially when it comes to results on concrete and results of anchors. In the following section, we will go through all the available results, focusing on the differences mentioned. In the check tab you can view a total of 4 types of results:
- Summary
- Strength
- Anchorage
- Auxiliary
Stress flow in Summary results shows you the vectors of compression principal stresses in concrete and utilization of the reinforcement and anchors to give you a basic overview.
In the Strength check you can display the redistribution of stresses and strains for oncrete. In the top ribbon in the Results toolbar, you can control what will be displayed. It is also possible to display, the ratios σc,eq/σlim, and ε/εlim as well as the plastic strain, the level of triaxiality σc3/σlim, and the direction of principal stress for concrete. All results in the Strength are related to the Ultimate Limit State.
Note: You may notice that the Equivalent Principal stress σc,eq is zero just below the compressed base plate. Please read the Theoretical background where the σc,eq is defined. Or you can go through this verification article, where this phenomenon is explained and verified using a well-known tri-axial test: Tri-axial stress – the active confinement effect
Materials can be switched in properties.
The check for reinforcement is performed in a very similar way, where we again compare the limit values with the calculated stress/strain - σs/σlim, and εs/εlim.
For or anchors, we have two checks. One is the same as for reinforcement — comparing the limit values - σs/σlim, and εs/εlim.
Note: You may notice that each anchor is verified in several positions, which are automatically calculated as extreme cases.
In addition, we have Eurocode-based checks, which are done empirically according to the standard. The specific standard considered can be seen in the settings, where it is also possible to select a different one depending on the type of anchorage used, as well as the required standard based on regional practices.
Implemented codes: EN 1992-4, EN 1993-1-8, EN 1994-1-1
Anchorage check gives you information about bond stress and total force on the reinforcement and anchors.
Last but not least, you can view the Auxiliary results in the application - Deformation, Reinforcement ratio, and Tensor concrete values. The first type, Deformation, can display scaled deformations of the ULS non-linear model.
The Reinforcement ratio shows the values used to compute the Tension stiffening effect.
Tensor concrete values allow you to display the intensities of principal stresses in concrete and their direction.
The result sections can also be used.
