2nd order effects | The user can select from P-Delta, Moment Magnification, or None. See the Engineering Theory for a discussion of these analysis procedures. |
Analysis beta d | When P-Delta has been selected, the user can then select the type of Beta d value used, non-sway or sway (see ACI 318 for a discussion of these two factors). The user can also select to input their own Beta d factor used in the analysis. |
Crackling Limit | Multiplier used to compute the modulus of rupture for the structural analysis. Settings this value to 0 will force the program to assume the member is cracked at all locations in the structural analysis. This input is separated from the Class U / Modulus of Rupture inputs because those values are used for design calculations where this input is used for analysis calculations. |
R-Value Calculation
For information on the thermal analysis, see the PCI Design Handbook 11.1.
