In the material dialog box all material strength input is assembled.

General

Under the header General, conditions that affect the calculation are stated. Exposure class and life time class are defined and affect code checks where rele-vant. The options Quality control and reduced deviation and Reduced or measured geometrical data can be checked. The two latter options together with the option Low strength variation, see below, changes the partial factors for materials according to EN 1992-1-1 Annex A A2.1 and A2.2.

Concrete

Concrete strength class can be defined by selecting from the list. Current design values are shown. It is also possible to define user defied values. If the option Low strength variation is checked together with one or both of the two options described above the partial factor for concrete will be changed according to EN 1992-1-1 Annex A A2.1 and A2.2.

Reinforcement

In the Reinforcement dialog boxes type of reinforcement for bottom- and top bars can be defined by selecting from lists.
