The calculation of the design forces for the plates and shells according to the EC2 algorithm uses the flow diagram in ČSN P ENV 1992–1–1 (731201), Appendix 2, par. A2.8. Following rules are valid for the indices:
The calculation of the design forces for the walls and shells according to EC2 algorithm uses the flow diagram in ČSN P ENV 1992–1–1 (731201), Appendix 2, par. A2.9. Following rules are valid for the indices:
Magnitudes mxD and myD (or nxD and nyD) are the design moments (or forces) in the reinforcement. The negative values of the moments or forces have no practical meaning and they are featured only by reason of integrity.
Magnitude mcD (or ncD) is design moment (or force) in the concrete and together with design moments (or forces) in the reinforcement it forms unity triplet with respect to invariant:
The design force in the concrete ncD is used at concrete crushing check (see ČSN P ENV 1992–1–1 (731201), Appendix 2, par. A2.9). The design moments in the concrete mcD are not mentioned in this code, but their meaning is analogical and they are stated by reason of integrity.
The values of the design moments and forces according to „classical“ algorithm are calculated according to the left branches of the flow diagrams stated above, i.e. without respect to the relation between mx, my and mxy (or nx, ny a nxy). This calculation is on the safe side, but in some cases it could be less optimal.
The right branch is used if some of the directions of the reinforcement calculated according to the left branch is pressed (negative value of the correspondent design magnitude). In this case a zero value of the design magnitude is assigned to this direction, and the other direction will have lower value of design magnitude (and consequently lower necessary reinforcement area) than by calculation according to the left branch (the condition of the capacity is granted in both cases). The calculation according to the right branch causes higher pressure in the concrete (magnitudes mcD and ncD) than according to the left banch. By this point of view the EC2 algorithm could be considered as more cost-effective.
