_ Question 2: T hank you for this explanation, it has been helpful to explain the difference in the check points. One way is to fine divide the elements, so that both the values match. In the Loss table only at I & J end is provided, where as in tendon stress check, stresses are arrived at all the five points for each element and tabulated and hence accordingly the variation between both the tables. If the maximum stress point does not fall within the 5 points ( i, 1/4,1/2,3/4,j ) of the elements, you can note the difference between the values in Loss table and stress table. This is mainly attributed to the, points in which midas gives output results. You may note that these stresses do not exactly match.
Point 1 refers to FDL1 i.e the stress at tendons at anchorage Point 2, is little tricky. I have attached a model file, in which I would refer how these values are derived for tendon stress check.
Answer1 : If you may refer the help menu, following is stated. I was hoping you could point me in the direction of someone who has some expertise here who could help clear this up for me. Specifically, because the program doesn’t show how it has calculated the losses in the prestressing strands explicitly I am having trouble determining exactly how the program is coming up with the stress in the tendons (FDL1, FLL1). Question1 : I have a some questions I would like to ask.
