PSC Design Material

 

 

 

Use this function to modify a part of the steel rebar and concrete material property data, entered during the creation of the analysis model, or to change the material property data. Modifications that are made here will not affect the analysis results, but will only be used for automatic design and strength verification.

 

 

 

From the Main Menu select  PSC > PSC Design Data > PSC Design Material.

 

 

 

Material List

Display the steel rebar and concrete material properties entered during the creation of the analysis model. Select the material to be modified or changed.

Concrete Material Selection

Display the selected material properties and modify/change the material property data.

The material property data can be changed by using the material property database built-in the program or by directly entering the changed data.

Procedure for using the material property database
Select the relevant code and the material name with the mouse.

The reinforcing steel bar standards are specified similar to the concrete standards and may be changed by the user if necessary. That is, the concrete and rebar standards need not be the same.

Direct entry by the user
Select 'None' in the Code field and enter the name of the material to be used in the Name field. Then, each data field is activated and the following material property data can be entered :

Specified Compressive Strength (f'c/fck): Design compressive cylinder strength of concrete

Rebar Selection (refer to Note 3)

Code: Select reinforcing steel standards

Grade of Main Rebar: Grade of main rebar

Grade of Sub-Rebar: Grade of sub-rebar (stirrups & ties)

Fy: Yield strength of main rebar

Fys: Yield strength of sub-rebar

Note 1
If any of NAME, Ec, f'c, and Grade of the Main Rebar and Grade of the Sub-Rebar material property data is omitted in the analysis model, the following values are used:

Note 2
The concrete standards are classified into None, ASTM(RC), CSA(RC), BS(RC), EN(RC), NTC(RC), UNI(RC), GOST(RC), JIS(RC), GB(RC), GB-Civil(RC),  KS(RC), KS-Civil(RC), IS(RC), etc...

Note 3
The following standards define the moduli of elasticity of concrete:

Note 4
If "None" is specified in the Code, the program applies the user-defined material properties to carry out the design.
