Values for analyzing lateral force and bond

Tool(s): Analysis of Lateral Force and Bond

When you have carried out structural calculations for a slab panel, the program uses these values. Otherwise, the program calculates the values for a single-span beam.

Lateral force area

vEd

This is the value of the lateral force at the support edge.

Analysis of lateral force area

Offset

The effective depth d proposed. This value is used for direct supports.

vEd,red

This is the value of the reduced lateral force at the support edge, taking into account the offset you defined.

vRd,ct/vRd,c

This is the design value of lateral force resistance. The longitudinal reinforcement grade has an effect on this value.
If the design value is exceeded, the program selects the Shear reinforcement required check box.

Analysis of bond area

vEd/vEdi

This is the value of the shear force in accordance with the lateral force at the support edge. The kz value has an effect on this value.

vRd,ct/vRd,j/vRdi

This is the design value of the maximum shear force or the design value of the maximum shear force in the joint. The surface property and the Joint under tension option have an effect on this value.
If the design value is exceeded, the program selects the Connecting reinforcement required check box.

Restore basic settings

To protect user-defined input parameters from unwanted or unauthorized alteration, any changes you make to the configuration are not automatically updated. You can use Restore basic settings to replace the existing parameters with the default parameters specified in the configuration.

Note: The default parameters are also used when you create a new factory.
