I am unable to open the file you provided because I am currently working using Midas Civil 2017. I have attached my file here which I created based on attempting to follow along with the attached tutorial in order to ensure my modelling is being done properly however the example fails to go in depth about the results (it would also be helpful to continue along with this example however cover the results and design features much further in depth). When I look at the values in column A I cannot match these with hand calculations based on AASHTO(also attached). ![]() For an initial jacking force applied at 1 end of 202.5 ksi midas Civil Reports stress in tendons after instantaneous loss (losses due to elastic shortening) as 191.6538 ksi. ![]() Hand calculations based on AASHTO simplified equation produces a value for stress in tendons after elastic shortening of 197.144 ksi This difference appears to be rather large and leads to vast differences in results. ![]() I am curious as to how midas is handling this because in all instances I have found in AASHTO a modulus of elasticity of concrete at transfer or time of load application, Eci, must be used.
