Debonding

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

Debonding Strand Limits (5.9.4.3.3 (<em>pre-2017: 5.11.4.3</em>))

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.
