PSC Design material

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

Compressive Strength at Transfer, fci (Pre-tension): Check on this option to define the compressive strength at transfer of prestressing manually, if this option is checked off then the compressive strength at transfer will be applied as 0.8 fck. Even when time-dependent compressive strength is defined, the strength at transfer defined here will be applied for design.
This option is only available if AS 5100.5:17 is selected in design code
