Stress (PSC)

Check the stresses of beam elements defined as PSC Sections, in a spreadsheet table format.

Table Tool in midas Civil offers a variety of powerful built-in functions. Refer to Usage of Table Tool for detail directions:

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Beam > Stress (PSC)

Refer to "Beam Stresses (PSC)"

Note
Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.
 

Beam Stress (PSC) tab: The results are the same as those from Result>Stress>Beam Stress (PSC). The results for load cases/combinations such as moving load, support settlement, time history, Envelope, etc. are displayed as Max/Min load cases/combinations. However, the maximum and minimum values displayed for each component are not the concurrent stresses.

Principal Stress tab: The results displayed under Max/Min are the concurrent stresses when the principal stress attains the maximum/minimum value (Sig-Ps Max/Sig-Ps Min) in case of a moving load, support settlement, time history, Envelope load case or combination.

Normal Stress tab: The results displayed under Max/Min are concurrent stresses when the normal stress (sum of axial stresses in the ECS x-direction) attains the maximum/minimum value in case of a moving load, support settlement, time history, Envelope load case or combination.

Elem: Element number

Load: Load case/combination name

Stage: Stage for which stresses are produced

Step: Step of the stage for which stresses are produced

Part: Locations at which element internal forces are produced

Section Position: Position for which inclined stresses are produced (6 positions)

Sig-xx (Axial): Axial stress due to the axial force (Fx) in the ECS x-direction

Sig-xx (Moment-y): Stress due to My (moment about the ECS y-axis) in ECS x-direction

Sig-xx (Moment-z): Stress due to Mz (moment about the ECS z-axis) in ECS x-direction

Sig-xx (Bar): Axial stress due to shear steel bars in the ECS x-direction

Sig-xx (Summation): Sum of the axial stress in the ECS x-direction and the axial stress due to shear steel bars in the ECS x-direction

Sig-zz: Stress in the ECS z-direction

Sig-xz (shear): Sum of shear stresses due to shear force and shear steel bars

Sig-xz (torsion): Shear stress due to torsion

Sig-xz (bar): Shear stress due to shear steel bars

Note
For shear stress calculations, shear thickness at the corresponding checking location of the PSC section is used.  If no value is entered, the thickness will be automatically calculated.

Sig-Is (shear): Diagonal stress due to shear force

Sig-Is (shear+torsion): Diagonal stress due to torsion and shear force

Sig-Ps(Max): Maximum principal stress

Sig-Ps(Min): Minimum principal stress

 Each stress component is calculated as follows:

Sig-Is (shear+torsion)
Sig-Is (shear)
	Axial stress at a stress check position in ECS x-direction
	Axial stress due to shear steel bars in ECS x-direction
	Axial stress due to shear steel bars in ECS z-direction
(Sig-xx)	Sum of axial stresses in ECS x-direction
(Sig-zz)	Sum of axial stresses in ECS z-direction
Sig-xz (shear)	Sum of shear stresses due to shear force and shear steel bars
	Shear stress due to shear force
	Shear stress due to shear steel bars
Sig-xz(torsion)	Shear stress due to torsion

where Θ is the angle of inclination of shear steel bars
