Overall check

The idea behind this function is to perform both ULS and SLS check in one step.

Limitations

1) only 1D non-prestressed member are supported,

2) only structures without construction stages are supported,

3) only EN code is supported,

4) only four types of check are supported:

   - design ULS without detailing provisions,

   - check ULS (response or capacity),

   - check SLS (only crack width),

   - check detailing provisions.

All types of loads (load case/combination/class) are supported.

Named items are no supported for this check, because the named items are supported only for ULS and allowable stress checks.

Check box "Redistribution of moment" is active only if ULS combination or class with ULS combination is selected.

Types of check

(1) Design As

This check is performed if check box "Design ULS" is ON in the properties of the service (if this check box is OFF, in the numerical table the value OFF will be presented for this check).

This check is NOT DONE if:

- SLS combination or class without load cases and ULS combinations is selected.

The reason why the check was not done or why the check does not satisfy is explained in column (W/E)DesignULS.

(2) ULS check

This check is performed if check box "ULS" is ON in the properties of the service (if this check box is OFF, in the numerical table the value OFF will be presented for this check).

This check is NOT DONE if:

- SLS combination or class without load cases and ULS combinations is selected,

-  the user real reinforcement is not input on the member.

The reason why the check was not done or why the check does not satisfy is explained in column (W/E)ULS.

The user can select the method for the check in combo box "Method for check" in the properties of the service. Two methods are available:

- check response (all values which are in property Value in the service Check response will be checked),

- check capacity (all values which are in property Value in the service Check capacity will be checked).

(3) SLS - crack width

This check is performed if check box "SLS-crack width" is ON in the properties of the service (if this check box is OFF, in the numerical table the value OFF will be presented for this check).

This check is NOT DONE if:

- ULS combination or class without load cases and SLS combinations is selected,

- type of reinforcement for check is As,user and the user real reinforcement is not input on the member,

- type of reinforcement for check is As,tot and the required reinforcement is not design on the member.

The reason, why the check was not done or why the check does not satisfy is explained in column (W/E)crack.

The crack width, max. distance and maximum diameter are checked for this check too.

(4) Detailing provisions

This check is performed, if check box "Detailing provisions" is ON in the properties of the service (if this check box is OFF, in the numerical table the value OFF will be presented for this check).

This check is NOT DONE if:

- the user real reinforcement is not input on the member.

The reason why the check was not done or why the check does not satisfy is explained in column (W/E)det.

All selected detailing provisions are checked.

Check result

The maximum value of unit check from all selected checks is presented in the graphical window.

Detailed results can be found in the Document or in Preview window.

(W/E)

Warning and errors

Type of reinf.

Type of reinforcement which is used for check

Notes relating the output table:

The value Checkxxx and Check presents text result of the check. There are the following possibilities:

- OFF (the selected check is OFF),

- NOT DONE (the selected check is ON, but some conditions for this check are not fulfilled, therefore check will not be done),

- OK,

- NOT OK.

The following item can be presented in the value "Type of reinf.":

- NO REAL USER - if user REDES reinforcement or FREE bars are not defined on the member,

- NO REQ. - if required reinforcement is not calculated,

- USER REAL - if check is done for user REDES reinforcement or FREE bars,

- REQ. - if check is done for required reinforcement, As,add = 0,

- TOT - if check is done for total reinforcement, As,add > 0.

USER REAL REINFORCEMENT = REDES reinforcement or FREE bars.
