The General tab of the Definition of calculation parameters dialog box for Eurocode 2 (ENV 1992-1-1:1992):
Concrete parameters are defined 3 ways.
- When the As in a structure model option is selected, needed material parameters are assigned from the data used for static calculations of structures.
- A list of available concrete grades.
- Defining the fck value of concrete resistance.
At the bottom of the dialog, Reinforcement control (EC2 4.4.2.3) checks reinforcement for cracking. You can also define exposure.
The following parameters can be defined.
- Exposure (EC2 4.1.2.2).
- Maximum cracking value.
- Coefficient of moment redistribution.
- ctg theta value. The theta angle is an angle between inclined concrete struts and the horizontal line.
