Debonding

Parameters that control debonding of strands are defined on this tab.

Debonding Strand Limits (5.11.4.3)

These parameters are used to check debonded sections to ensure that local stress concentrations at debond locations are excessive

Item Description
Maximum total debonded strands Enter this value as a percentage of the total number of permanent strands
Maximum debonded strands per row Enter this value as a percentage of the number of permanent strands in a row
Maximum debonded strands per section These values limit the number of strands that can be debonded at a given longitudinal location. Enter both a total number and a percentage of the total number of debonded strands. The number of debonded strands will be limited to the greater of the two values.
