 Name
Enter the Name to be assigned as a haunched beam.
Element List
Part A: Enter the element numbers corresponding to the end part (haunch part).
Part B: Enter the element numbers corresponding to the center part (uniform part).
Part C: Enter the element numbers corresponding to the end part (haunch part).
Define Design Position
Part 1/2: Check strength at 1/2 point of Part
User: Specify the position to check strength
L1: Distance from the i-end to point 2
L2: Distance from the j-end to point 8
Note 1
This option specifies the design positions for end parts (haunch parts). L1 cannot exceed the length of Part A and L2 cannot exceed the length of Part C. For Part A and C, the automatic design results are based on the positions (I, 1/2, J) of Tapered section. For Part B, the automatic design results are based on the segments (I, M, J). The position M represents one of 1/4, 1/2 & 3/4 positions of Part B considered for the results of the automatic design, based on most unfavorable negative and positive moments and shear forces.
Note 2
When a number of elements are assigned as a single Haunched Beam, the Haunched Beam number retains the smallest element number. That element then becomes the representative element. All design parameters for the Haunched Beam must be input in the representative element.
 : Assign selected elements as a haunched beam member.
 : Modify the selected haunched beam member.
 : Delete the selected haunched beam member
