XML import for RC members

The XML import may be used for input of "member" tasks. Both general rules for XML files and following rules given for this import should be respected:

  • The name of fundamental element is not limited (for example <FINE>)
  • All values are defined using base SI units
  • Angles are defined in degrees

File structure

The XML file may contain general properties of the project defined in the element <header>. Member properties are stored in the element <dimConcrete>. Every member in the part <dimConcrete> is defined by the element <member>. This element supports following attributes:

name

  • The member name, obligatory

length

  • The member length. Not used in files for "Fin 2D" and "Fin 3D"

kind

  • The structure type, obligatory. Available values: "beam", "column", "slab", "wall"

aeration

  • The setting whether the aeration exceeds 4%. Available values: "true", "false". If not defined, the value "false" is used.

dg

  • The diameter of aggregate, optional parameter. Default value is 0.016.

bucklingMethod

  • The method for buckling analysis. Available values: "stiffness" - the method based on nominal stiffness, "curvature" - the method based on nominal curvature. Optional, default value is "stiffness".

reinforcementCompressed

  • Consider reinforcement in compression. Available values: "true", "false", if not defined, the value "true" is considered

The element <member> may contain following parts:

<section>

  • The part with diagrams of internal forces. Not used in files for "Fin 2D" and "Fin 3D"

<material>

  • The with . Not used in files for "Fin 2D" and "Fin 3D"

<materialReinforcementLongitudinal>

  • The material of longitudinal reinforcement

<materialReinforcementTransverse>

  • The material of transverse reinforcement

<environment>

  • The properties of environment

<creep>

  • The creep properties

<load>

  • The part with diagrams of internal forces. Not used in files for "Fin 2D" and "Fin 3D"

<imperfection>

  • The effect of imperfection

<buckling>

  • The buckling properties

<cover>

  • The calculation of reinforcement cover

<reinforcement/>

  • The part with longitudinal reinforcement

<transversereinforcement/>

  • The part with transverse reinforcement
