ST1 - Presentation of ST1 23
ST1 - Presentation of ST1 24
The ST1 version 1 Software calculates three-dimensional or flat structures, based essentially on a
linear elastic analysis on the fisrt order with many features specific to the field of engineering
structures.
Its characteristics are the following ones:
- Description of structures (2D or 3D) with fixed or variable feature bars, as well as modelling
foundations using ground beams on elastic ground
- automatic calculation of road live loads
- evaluation of stress combinations and envelopes required to implement the regulations
pertaining to concrete or metal
- editing and display of all results
All ST1 features are managed using a data programming language enabling the setting of any
structural parameters.
ST1 also has a graphical interface with pull-down menus and toolbars. This interface is used to
visualise the structure and results.
ST1 version 2 is an extension of ST1 version 1 enabling the following points to be
processed:
- consideration of concrete creep and shrinkage in relation to the laws of BPEL, the CEB,
EN1992 to-1-1 and EN1992-2
- the introduction of construction modelling phases on the various parts of construction
- the time history (linear elastic nalysis)
Chapter
1.
INTRODUCTION
ST1 - Presentation of ST1 25
The new features offered by version 23 of ST1 are :
- Dynamic : eigen modes, spectral calculation, time history analysis
- Linear elastic buckling loads
For information: Core calculations redesign and change of compilation program (Intel 2010)
The new features offered by version 22 of ST1 are with limited changes:
- Compatibility with Windows 7 64b
- English Version (Input Data and documentation)
The new features offered by version 21 of ST1 are as follows. These include such major innovations:
- Live loads Eurocode EN1991-2: LM3 with VS- on specific channel of LM1 ("correlated"
command), construction loads 23m3, 34m3, Update according to the National Appendix: LM3
standard VS width modified and LM2 coefficient adjustment (see p150)
- tension in the cables: (See p 211) for the loads, phasing and reports
- Pressuring pre-stressing: Linear-bilinear pressuring Eurocode EN1922-2 and parabolic
pressuring French Regulation rules (see p85)
- Pressuring cable: Cable sheathing (see p87)
- Concrete: Heat treatments for pressured constructions by pre-stressing Eurocode EN1922-2
and the French Regulation rules (see p73)
- size of projects can be changed via the st1.par file for large calculation projects (results over
2 Gb)
- Advanced material: setting affinity on shrinkage, creep, and Young modulus deformations
- phasing of construction, and pre-stressing and BHP updated
The new features offered by version 20 of ST1 are many. These include such major innovations:
- Live loads: Eurocode EN1991-2: LM1, LM2, LM3, pavement, LM4 (see p150)
- Concrete: Eurocode ZN1992-1-1 and EN1922-2 in addition to the French Regulation rules
(see p79)
- ability to define a transverse distribution in 2D modelling: Courbon, f (y), ... (see p121)
- Generalized stress complemented by a constant term for the calculation of fixed loads (see
p95)
Due to the reworking of the ST1 calculation node:
- old project files .STD and .STI are incompatible and should be regenerated (see
command READ p34),
- differences may appear between the results (improved digital precision)

NEW FEATURES
ST1 - Presentation of ST1 26
Some ST1 limits can be modified by the user:
- Memory allocated of 300 MB for running ST1
- The maximum size of the project database scaled at 1 280 MB (BASEDAT file), for larger
structures, modify the st1.par file (cf.P287)
- 256 characters maximum for a filename, including directory
- 128 characters maximum for a line of the data file (cf.P287)
- 8 digits maximum for a node or bar number
- 100,000 for a load number
- the generalized number of constraints for flat and spatial structures, depending on available
memory
Limits to change in the parameter file (see.P287) are by default:
- 20000 nodes - 40000 bar
- 4000 supports
- 80000 study sections
These are the data table limits, however the rigidity matrix may be too large to be stored in
RAM, even within these limits. In this case ST1 displays Not Enough Memory when you make
changes.
Some limits are changeable using commands in the parameters file (see p. 287) and:
para_structure nd nb na gives respectively the values nd, nb and na to the
limit numbers of nodes, bars and supports
mx_etude nse gives the value nse to the limit number of study sections
All commands can be used in a data file, or be typed directly using the console interactively.
However, the amount of data needed to describe common problems, often requires the creation of data
files.
It is advisable to use a .ST1 extension for data files.
ST1 will recognize these files as data files if this extension was associated with ST1 during
installation.

4.6 - NUMERICAL LISTS
A numerical list is a sequence of numeric values separated by commas, or an interval divided into
steps (the default step is equal to 1).
Numerical lists can be written on multiple lines. To achieve this, the last character in the line has to be
a comma.
EXAMPLE
the numerical list 1,23,12,5,6,7,8,9
is equivalent to 1,23,12,5 to 9 step 1
and 1,23,12,5 to 9
and 1,23,12,5 to 6,7 to 9

WRITING CONVENTIONS
ST1 - Presentation of ST1 30
Using an editor the user creates the data file(s) containing the data for the calculation. These files may
contain any counting results and editing commands.
These data files are run:
+ Either by calling up the ST1 program (st1.exe) followed by the command READ (see READ
command p34) and the file name from the console side
+ or by double clicking the file (if the .ST1 file extension association was preserved during
installation)
+ or by dragging and dropping the st1 data file onto a shortcut that points to the st1 executable to
be placed on the desktop
+ or launch from a text editor that enables you to launch executables (such as PSPAD or
equivalent). It should be noted that a syntax colouring file for this software is available, which
enables you to view the syntax of the code in a more ergonomic manner (please call the dealer
for more information)
All commands in the data file are then interpreted and ST1 displays the prompt > on the console and
waits for the following commands.
You leave ST1 using the QUIT command (see QUIT command p38) which requests a project name
(between quotes).
If the user enters a project name, ST1 backs up the state of the structure and the results already
obtained in a database. This data can be reused for subsequent calculations (see PROJECT command
p37).
If the user types a carriage return in place of the project name, no backup is performed.

USE
ST1 - Presentation of ST1 31
7.1 - ERROR MESSAGES
Errors detected during the running of ST1 trigger display of a message on the screen.
EXAMPLE
--- fichier : >f1
--- ligne : 101 ---
erreur : parentheses non apairees
Messages displayed on the screen are saved in a file named erreur.txt. This file is available
after running ST1 to locate the reported errors.
The action number n displayed on-screen or in erreur.txt corresponds to the n
th
action
carried out in the phasing calculation.
7.2 - WARNING MESSAGES
Messages indicate that certain uses may, though legitimate, be involuntary.
EXAMPLE
Redefinition of the characteristics of a bar:
CARA 10 SX .2 IZ .3
CARA 10 IZ .45
The second use of the CARA command for bar 10 triggers the message:
--- fichier : >f1
--- ligne : 112 ---

ST1 - Liste des commandes (Commandes gnrales) 34
1.1 - READING A FILE
Reading a data file from the console or other data file is achieved by the command:
READ 'Nom du file'
EXAMPLE
READ 'pont.st1'
Commands in the pont.st1 file are interpreted until ST1 displays the > prompt on the console.
Reading a data file can be achieved within another data file.
1.2 - INTERUPTING READING A FILE BEFORE REACHING THE END
Reading a data file can be interrupted using the following command:
RETURN
EXAMPLE
In the file toto.st1:
NODE 1 12 15
RETURN
NODE 2 6 8
All commands in the data file toto.st1 after the RETURN keyword will be ignored during reading.
Chapter
1.
GENERAL COMMANDS
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Commandes gnrales) 35
1.3 - TEMPORARY EXIT TO THE CONSOLE WHEN READING A DATA FILE
Reading a data file can be interrupted by a temporary exit to the console using the following
command:
READ CONSOLE
The prompt displayed on the console then contains the name of all files being read.
EXAMPLE
in the file toto.st1:
READ CONSOLE
When prompted in the ST1 prompt, the command:
READ 'toto.st1' reading file toto.st1 up to instruction READ CONSOLE
Displays the prompt >toto.st1>> on the screen.
1.4 - CONTINUING READ AFTER TEMPORARY EXIT TO THE CONSOLE
Continuing to read a data file after a temporary exit to the console is achieved using the command:
RETURN
EXAMPLE
in the file toto.st1:
READ CONSOLE
When prompted in ST1:
READ 'toto.st1' reading file toto.st1 up to instruction READ CONSOLE
>toto.st1>> displayed by ST1
RETURN
>
The RETURN command enables continued reading of the file. The instructions in the toto.st1 file
are interpreted until the end of the file. The prompt> is displayed on the console while waiting for the
next commands.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Commandes gnrales) 36
1.5 - PROJECT EDITING
The definition of the editing output file is made according to the following syntaxes:
1.5.1 - EDITING TO A FILE
OUTPUT 'Nom du file' (SUITE) (NOT PAGINE)
The key word SUITE enables you to write output at the end of the file if it already exists.
The key word NOT PAGINE provides non paginated output.
1.5.2 - CONSOLE EDITING
CONSOLE OUTPUT
1.5.3 - EDITING OF THE LAST OUTPUT FILE USED (AFTER EDITING TO THE CONSOLE)
OUTPUT FILE
EXAMPLE
OUTPUT 'toto' # cration du file toto
LIST GEOM # criture dans le file toto des caractristiques
# gomtriques et mcanique de la structure
1.6 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The current ST1 database, which contains all the definitions and results of a calculation, should be
saved under a specific name to be recovered during a subsequent use of ST1.
The management of databases is ensured through the concept of the project. At each session the user
can create a project, recall or modify a project already stored.
The structure of ST1 has changed (from single real to double in the calculations in
particular), it is impossible to re-read the .STD and .STI files from a previous version.
The project must be regenerated by replaying the data file (see. Command RELECTURE DUN
PROJETT p37).
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Commandes gnrales) 37
1.6.1 - SAVING A PROJECT
The current status of a session can be saved in the project using the command:
RECORD PROJET 'Nom du projet'
or:
RECORD 'Nom du projet'
1.6.2 - REVIEWING A PROJECT
Reviewing of a project is carried out using the command:
PROJET 'Nom du projet'
1.6.3 - RECALLING THE NAME OF THE CURRENT PROJECT
The name of the current project can be obtained by using the command:
PROJET
1.6.4 - LIST OF PROJECTS STORED ON THE DISK
The list of projects already stored on the disk can be obtained by using the command:
LIST PROJET
If a syntax error occurs during re-reading of a project, check whether the length of the file
name with the directory exceeds the limit (256 characters). If this is the case, re-create the
project in a directory with a shorter name (if necessary rename each file).
1.6.5 -MODIFYING THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF THE PROJECTS ON THE DISK
The project size on the disk is limited to a little over 1GB. It is possible to modify the storage size by
modifying the ST1.par parameter file. The 3rd digit of the file can be increased (by default this value
is set at 64). Here is an excerpt of the ST1. par file
st1-v23
200 # taille memoire de travail en mega-octets
64 # taille nb_lign_index - BASEIND ( modifier pour les gros projets)
This change results in a modification in the database structure, the project file generated will
always be associated with the modified "st1.par" file. Indeed, the project can be read only in
the presence of the modified file. For this reason, we recommend that the user does not modify
the usual ST1.par file in the directory of the executable, but makes a copy of this file in the
project directory. ST1 first checks that this file is present in the directory, and if absent, uses
the one in the ST1 executables directory.
Note: Over sizing the index base size parameter (related to the size of the project) has the
disadvantage of slowing the initial run of ST1 as it starts by reserving the space for the index
base on the disk, which unnecessarily penalizes routine calculations, which generally require
very little space on the disk.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Commandes gnrales) 38
1.7 - DEFINING THE OUTPUT FILE PAGE NUMBERING PARAMETERS
The number of lines per page and the ASCII character indicating the page break can be defined by the
following commands:
PAGINATION
(ASC_PAGE iasc)
(MAX_LIGNE n)
END
with:
n number of lines per page
iasc ASCII code indicating the page break:
=12 : printers recognizing the standard page break character
=49 :printers recognizing the Fortran programs page break
The number of characters per line depends on the selected calculation option:
options PLANE and GRILL 80 characters per line
options SPATIAL 128 characters per line
The page numbering parameters are initialized in the parameters file (see.P287) which enables
a default initialization. They can, however, be redefined in the data file.
1.8 - DELETING WARNING MESSAGES
The runtime and warning message display (warning: redefinition, etc.) in the erreur.txt file
is achieved using the command:
MESSAGE ALL
Deleting warning messages only:
MESSAGE REDUCE
Deleting all messages is achieved using:
MESSAGE NONE
The command takes effect from where it is inserted into the data file.
1.9 - ST1 OUTPUT
Stop using ST1 by using the command:
QUIT
When entered on the keyboard, this command asks for a project name (between quotes).
If the user enters a project name, ST1 backs up the status of the structure and the results already
obtained in a database. This data can be reused for subsequent calculations (see PROJET command
p37).
If the user types a carriage return in place of the project name, no backup is performed.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 39
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 40
The geometry of the structure is defined by the description:
- of the title of the structure
- of the nodes
- of the supports
- of the bars
- of the characteristics of the bars
- of the constants in the constituent materials of the bars
- of the bar joints (optional)
- of the eccentricity of the bars (optional)
- of the study sections on the bars (optional)
- of the enabled bars (optional)
The geometry description commands can be used several times, and in any order. The last description
is the one taken into account. The values that are not redefined are therefore previous values.
In the case of selective enabling, changing the coordinates of a node must be followed by the
enabling of all the bars that were linked to it, to be really taken into account in during loading
calculations.

DESCRIPTION OF GEOMETRY
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 41
2.1 - CALCULATION OPTION
The calculation option is defined using the following syntax:
OPTION <PLANE,GRILL,SPATIAL>
This command is inserted into the parameter file (see.P287) which defines a default option
when using the ST1.
Use this command before any command at the beginning of data enables you to change the
default option.
2.1.1 - DRAWING FRAME: FLAT OPTION
The structure is flat and loaded into its drawing:
- co-ordinates x, y
- displacement dx, dy, rz
X
Y
Z
Geometry Displacement
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 42
2.1.2 - DRAWING FRAME: GRID BEAM OPTION
The structure is flat and loaded perpendicular to its drawing:
- co-ordinates x, y
- displacement rx, dz, ry
Geometry Displacement
2.1.1 - DRAWING FRAME: SPATIAL OPTION
The structure and loads are described in space:
- co-ordinates x, y, z
- displacement dx, dy, dz, rx, ry, rz
Geometry Displacement
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 43
2.2 - TITLE OF THE STRUCTURE
The definition of the title of the structure can be achieved using the following syntax:
TITLE 'Title structure'
The title of the structure is recalled when printing out the results and on the drawings.
It can be modified within a data file.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 44
2.3 - DEFINITION OF NODES
The description of the nodes (in the global coordinate system) can be achieved according to the
following syntaxes:
SIMPLE INSTRUCTION
NODE liste coor1 coor2 coor3
NODE liste (X coor1) (Y coor2) (Z coor3)
BLOCK INSTRUCTION
NODE
liste coor1 coor2 coor3
liste (X coor1) (Y coor2) (Z coor3)
INSTRUCTION TO GENERATE MULTIPLE NODES
GENER n NODE (ID) j (pas0) X coor1 (pas1) Y coor2 (pas2) Z coor3 (pas3)
with:
n number of nodes to generate
j number of the first node
pas0 increment on the node numbers (default = pas0=1)
coor1 first coordinate 1 of node
pas1 increment on node coordinate1 (default = pas1=0)
etc.
The coordinates that can be used are:
Option PLANE x, y
Option GRILL x, y
Option SPATIAL x, y, z
EXAMPLE
The instruction:
GENER 5 NODE ID 100 10 X 5. 2. Y 4
is equivalent to:
NODE ou NODE
100 X 5. Y 4. 100 5. 4.
110 X 7. Y 4. 110 7. 4.
120 X 9. Y 4. 120 9. 4.
130 X 11. Y 4. 130 11. 4.
140 X 13. Y 4. 140 13. 4.
The order of the node definitions contained in the file directly influences the size of the matrix
bar (diagonal bar of non-zero terms) of the stiffness matrix and therefore the size of the memory
occupied by the corresponding calculation.
Thus for models consisting of a large number of nodes, users can significantly reduce the
amount of memory allocated to the matrix by simply generating the nodes of the model in order
of iX increasing and then Y increasing (the numbering can be done in any order).
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 45
2.4 - RIGID SUPPORTS
The locked directions for a rigid support are defined in the general reference of the structure according
to the following syntaxes:
SIMPLE INSTRUCTION
RESTRAINT liste1 (NODE liste2) (DECOL < NOT, <X,Y,Z><POS,NEG> >) (DX) (DY)
(DZ) (RX) (RY) (RZ)
POS NEG determines the sign of the degree of freedom affected by the separation condition
(default POS, meaning that the support is bonded if the reaction is positive and the support not
bonded if the reaction is negative).
When the DECOL option is enabled, the detachment criteria only concerns the enabled degree of
freedom (reaction X, Y or Z).
When the criterion of detachment is determined on this single degree of freedom, all degrees of
freedom are released.
For use with loads but not for use with mobile loads . (NB: Prestressing is calculated with
simultaneous cables (SIMUL) in the case of DECOL)
BLOCK INSTRUCTION
RESTRAINT
list 1 (NODE liste2) (DECOL < NOT, <X,Y,Z><POS,NEG> >) (DX) (DY) (DZ) (RX)
(RY) (RZ)
with:
list1 list of support numbers
list2 list of node numbers on which the support will be placed
(by default liste1=liste2)
DECOL keyword for the detachment of a support in one direction
The key words used are:
Option PLANE dx, dy, rz
Option GRILL rx, dz, ry
Option SPATIAL dx, dy, dz, rx, ry, rz
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 46
EXAMPLE
The instruction:
RESTRAINT 1 to 5 DX RZ
Means that the nodes 1,2,3,4,5 are locked rigid supports following the X axis and rotation Z of the
general reference.
The instruction:
RESTRAINT 1 to 5 NODE 11 to 15 DY
Means that the nodes 11,12,13,14,15 are locked rigid supports following the Y axis of the general
reference.
At least one of the supports must be locked to X to make the structure stable.
If there is a pre-stress, just one support should be locked to X or the pre-stress will have no
effect.
The definition of different numbers for supports and nodes enables easier description of the
phasing of certain structures (thrust bridges). It also enables the definition of two types of
support on a single node.
The lengths of the lists of numbers of support and nodes must be identical.
The block instruction RESTRAINT can contain rigid and elastic supports.
In the instructions above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL. The instruction will act on
all the nodes that are already defined.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 47
2.5 - ELASTIC SUPPORTS
The upper half-stiffness matrix of an elastic support is defined in the general reference of the structure
according to the following syntaxes:
SIMPLE INSTRUCTION
RESTRAINT liste1 (NODE liste2) (DECOL < NOT,<X,Y,Z><POS,NEG> >) (ROT alpha)
EL m1 mj1
RESTRAINT liste1 (NODE liste2)(DECOL < NOT, <X,Y,Z><POS,NEG> >) (ROT alpha)
EL DI d1 dj2
BLOCK INSTRUCTION
RESTRAINT
liste1 (NODE liste2) (DECOL < NOT, <X,Y,Z><POS,NEG> >) (ROT alpha)
EL m1 mj1
liste1 (NODE liste2) (DECOL < NOT, <X,Y,Z><POS,NEG> >) (ROT alpha)
EL DI d1 dj2
with:
list1 list of support numbers
list2 list of node numbers on which the support will be placed
(by default liste1=liste2)
m1 mj1 lower half-stiffness matrix, being:
6 terms for flat structures
21 terms for spatial structures
d1 dj2 diagonal terms of the stiffness matrix, being:
3 terms for flat structures
6 terms for spatial structures
alpha angle of rotation around the Z axis (case of curved bridges)
When the DECOL option is enabled, the detachment criteria only concerns the enabled degree of
freedom (reaction X, Y or Z).
When the criterion of detachment is determined on this single degree of freedom, all degrees of
freedom are released.
POS NEG determines the sign of the degree of freedom affected by the separation condition
(default POS, meaning that the support is bonded if the reaction is positive and the support not
bonded if the reaction is negative).
The DECOL option is to use with statics loads only, (NB: prestressing is
calculated as simulatneoaus (SIMUL option)), do not use this option with mobiles loads
(LIVE_LOAD).
The alpha angle is in radians, defined in the general reference, counted counter-clockwise.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Gomtrie) 48
EXAMPLE
- In PLANE option (see command OPTION p41) the instruction:
RESTRAINT 1 to 5 EL DI 1000. 2000. 0.

The definition of different numbers for supports and nodes enables easier description of the
phasing of certain structures (thrust bridges). It also enables the definition of two types of
support on the same node.
The lengths of the lists of numbers of support and nodes must be identical.
The block instruction RESTRAINT can contain rigid and elastic supports.
In the instructions above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL. The instruction will act on
all the nodes that are already defined.

The coordinates that can be used are:
Option PLANE x, y
Option GRILL x, y
Option SPATIAL x, y, z
EXAMPLE
The instruction:
EXC 2,3,4 TO 6 OR Y 2.5
Means that the bars 2,3,4,5,6 are originally connected to the nodes of the structure by an infinitely
rigid bar. This connection originates from the structural node and the end is the point deduced from
the node coordinates by a translation vector (0,2.5) in the local description of the structure.
In the instructions above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL. The instruction will act on
all the bars already defined.
The eccentricities remain outside the bar and cannot receive any load or study section.

In the case of large beams supported by elastic springs defined by the command CARA PSE :
When strong ground stiffness values are used, if one defines the beam using a single bar,
ST1 can provide erroneous values related to the theory implemented. To eliminate this
problem, it is necessary to discretise the bar in several sections and apply the command
CARA PSE to each section.
You should avoid differences that are too large in the magnitudes of bar inertias. The
calculation of the effects of thermal gradient depends on the values VY and WY.

END
The eigen masses can be linked to nodes. They must have dimensions homogeneous to mass
unity and not to weight unity.
For the masses linked to nodes, the user gives the values of eigen masses to nodes of the
structure either with a diagonal matrix, or with a consistent matrix (and symetric)
To facilitate the generation of masses, the user can generate automaticaly the calculation of
eigen masses to nodes by selecting bars : these bars will be affected of eigen masses to each
extremities.
To really have a mass affected to the bar, the density of these bars must be defined before this
command by the user. To calculate the masses affected to the nodes of the bars, the
acceleration of gravity G_DYN has to be defined (see Definition of materials).
The eigen masses defined automaticaly for the bars are diagonal and for translation by default
(the formulation of this matrix is define in annexe). Bby using the command MASS DI, the
matrix is a complete diagonal with translation and rotation masses. It is also possible to use a
formulation with a consistent matrix (the formulation is given in annexe) by using only the
single command MASS.
The eigen masses can be nullified for a bar with the command NUL. NB: it does not affect the
masses defined directly to nodes
The key word UNI allows to add lineic uniform masses to bars.
The key word LIN allows to add lineic masses with a linear shape to bars.
The key word PARABOL allows to add lineic masses with a parabolic shape to bars.
The masses must be described as lineic weight and et , the acceleration of gravity G_DYN has to
be defined for the affected bars (see Definition of materials).
Mass = Weight / g_dyn
The key word SUP allows to add masses to bars or nodes where masses have already been
defined.
The optional key EXC allows to get additional masses and having an excentrement with bar, but
without having necessarily an excentrement for the bar itself. Be careful, it is adviced to use it
for bars having already masses without excentrement, otherwise in some cases, no eigen mode
can be found.
The calculation of eigen masses and therefore of eigen modes is available only with the option
"plan" and "spatial".
The eigen masses are linked only to nodes: therefore there is no masses linked to all the
intermediate sections of studies in bars. The user must define enough nodes in its structure to
model correctly the dynamic behavior of its structure.

3.3 - DEFINITION OF A MATERIAL
The definition of a material allows a complete description of the physical constants of the bars. In
particular, it defines the laws of evolution over time of the following parameters:
- modulus of elasticity (Young's modulus)
- shrinkage deformation
- creep deformation
The definition of a material is achieved according to the following syntax:
MAT i ('Title material')
E...parameters (see below) ...
(SHRINKAGE ... parameters (see below) ...)
(CREEP .....parameters (see below) ...)
(NU nu)
(RO ro)
(G_DYN g) (DAMPING dam)
(TEMP temp)
(AVANCE ... parameters (see paragraph on this command) ...)
END
with:
nu Poisson's ratio
ro density
g acceleration of gravity (only for the calculation of eigen masses: mass_vol=ro/g)
dam number of dynamic damping type
temp coefficient of thermal expansion
The parameters for Young's modulus, shrinkage and creep definitions depend on the type of regulatory
law chosen.
The following regulations are currently available:
- BPEL Portland cement (fc28s 60 MPa)
- BHP AFREM proposal of May 16, 95 (40 MPa s fc28 s 80 MPa)
- BPEL Lightweight concrete
- CEB90 Portland cement
- EC2 concrete compliant with Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1 and
EN1992-2)
When using the definition of a material according to a regulation and not by directly specifying
the value of the module, the initial modulus has an instantaneous value (age of concrete is
equal to 28 days).
For users ofST1 version 2:
If the physical constants of the bars do not change during phasing (see. PHASING
command p.162), it is possible to define them directly or by means of a material.
The calculation of phasing uses the instantaneous modulus whose value changes over time
depending on the date (see. DEFINITION DUNE DATE command p169).

The definition of the modulus of the material from the characteristic value fc28 requires that
you specify the unit chosen to express the module. This module can be expressed in:
Mega Pascals (MPa) keyword MPA
tons per square metre (t / m) keyword TM2
Kilo Newtons per square metre (kN / m) keyword KNM2
The acceleration g is defined automatically if the unit of the modulus of the material is defined
by the user. Thus if the unit is in TM2, the acceleration g is equal to 1 and if the unit is KNM2 or
MPA, the acceleration g is 9.81.
When using the definition of a material in compliance with BPEL rules, the module start date is
a few days corresponding with a new concrete and a concrete module close to the
instantaneous modulus. For a deferred module, you must reach a much larger time span
(several months or years). If necessary, the designer may need to redefine the module for the
loads to be studied by directly defining the module (e.g. for live_load, we generally used E).
Heat treatment, if defined, is considered only for construction phasing as described in the
appendix (B3.3 specific case of BPEL91). For loads outside phasing, the user must directly
specify the additional losses in the fixed load commands.
The creep can be taken in account either in compression and in traction, or only in compression
by using the command TRACTION

SHRINKAGE parameters
CREEP parameters
AVANCE (K_MODULE km)
(K_SHRINKAGE_ENDOGENE kre) (K_SHRINKAGE_DESSICATION krd)...

ST1 - List of commands (Prestress) 88
For structures with complex geometry (gantry, cable-stayed bridge, etc.), although the entry of
bar is optional, it is strongly recommended to specify the list of bars serving to support the
cables, to make sure that the studied cables are allocated to the right bars.
A cable defined in ST1, may represent several basic cables with the same geometry (e.g. cables
of a slab bridge modelled in 2D). These basic cables can be stretched simultaneously or not
(see. keywords SIMUL and NOT SIMUL p87).
A post-tension cable can be tensioned using one or two active anchors. The tension mode is
described by the following keywords:
tensioning a cable with a single active anchor
tensioning the start side TENSION OR
Tensioning each end EX TENSION
tensioning a cable with a two active anchors
start side release and then end side EX TENSION OR
end side release and then start side EX TENSION OR
N.B.: In the case of a cable tensioned at both ends, the order of tensioning has no influence
unless the cable is "short", i.e. if released sections are covered by moving the anchoring.
A pre-tensioning cable does not require you to specify the method of tensioning, using active
anchors.
A cable modelled in ST1 uses the nearest bar selected from the list of support bars (keyword
BAR). The definition of the support bars should be used whenever there may be ambiguity
about the choice of the bar that will receive the effect of the cable (e.g. bridge modelled with its
pillars - the list of support bars should contain only the bars of the deck).
In general, the bar list should include only those bars that can accommodate the effect of the
cable (for example, do not include vertical bars resting on supports).
A post-tensioning cable may be inside ( keywords TRACE INTERIEUR) or outside (keyword
TRACE EXTERIEUR) the concrete. For ST1, an external cable is not connected with the
structure on the straight sections.
A pre-tensioning cable should be inside (keywords TRACE INTERIEUR) the concrete.
The route of a cable is described by the coordinates of its passing points, or by the definition of
control points called "poles".
ST1 - List of commands (Prestress) 89
4.2.1 - DEFINITION BY PASSING POINTS
A passing point is defined by its coordinates in the global coordinate system of the structure. The
description may be supplemented by the definition of a tangent or the imposition of a straight
alignment with the following point:
- The tangent at a point is defined by the angle of the cable with the horizontal plane (keyword
SLOPE) and / or the angle of the horizontal alignment of the cable relative to the global OX
axis (Keyword GIS)
- a straight alignment between two points may be imposed using the keyword ALIGNE
CABLE 1 or CABLE 1

ST1 - List of commands (Prestress) 90
4.2.2 - DEFINITION BY POLES
The external cables generally rest on the path of a broken line whose angular points designate diverters
and spacers. The real route of the cable is then constructed by imposing circular connections at the
angular points.
A cable of this type is described in ST1 by the definition of the passing points of the broken line and
connection radii at these points.

ST1 - List of commands (Selective Activation) 91
5.1 - ACTIVATION OF BARS AND SUPPORTS
By default, all the defined bars and supports are activated.
A selective enabling of the bars and supports can be requested. However, in this case, only the items
actually activated by the ACTIVATE command will be considered.
The syntaxes are:
- enabling of all that has been defined
ACTIVATE ALL
- partial enabling
ACTIVATE (BAR liste) (RESTRAINT liste)
The activated items are added to the items already activated.
EXAMPLE
The instruction:
ACTIVATE BAR 1 to 5 RESTRAINT 2,10
means that the bars1,2,3,4,5 and supports 2.10 will be added to the activated bars and supports.
In the instructions above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL. The instruction will act on
all the bars and supports already defined.
Use of the keywords ACTIVATE or DEACTIVATE deletes any default enabling.

6.2 - DEFINING COEFFICIENTS FOR CALCULATING STRESS
The study of normal and tangential stresses at any point (Resal effect, etc.), can generally be reduced
to the study of a linear combination of RDM stresses. Such a combination is called a generalized

The coefficients c1 and c2 are defined according to the position of each study section (see. STUDY
command p93) using a linear function:
For a study section located at a fractional abscissa xx (xx =xe / xl varies from 0 to 1), the
weighting coefficients are given using the formulas:
c1 = 0.11+(0.15-0.11)*xx
c2 = 0.44+(0.55-0.44)*xx

0.25*n+0.15*tz+0.55*my for bars 6 and 7
The coefficients c1, c2 and c3 are defined in accordance with the position of each study section (see.
STUDY command p93) by parabolic interpolation:
For a study section located at a fractional abscissa xx (xx =xe / xl varies from 0 to 1), the
weighting coefficients are given using the formulas:
cf = a*xx*xx+b*xx+c
with:
a = 2*(cfor-2*cfmi+cfex)
b = -3*cfor+4*cfmi-cfex
c = cfex
The generalized stresses are integrated into the results of each study section during the
execution of loads and live_loads (see. EXEC LOAD p116 and EXEC LIVE_LOAD commands
p161).
The generalised stresses cannot be defined on all the bars and for all loads. In case they are
defined, they are used in combinations and envelopes (see. COMB p201 and EBV p166) as well
as other results of the section.

The instruction WEIGHT SELF cannot be used with OPTION GRILL as the straight section of
the cross members is never defined.
The instruction WEIGHT SELF can only be used in the description of a load, i.e. between the
keywords LOAD and END.
The dead weight of a bar is generated along the entire length of the bar by multiplying the

The inclusion of a pre-stressing reinforcement assumes that you have already defined a type
of pre-stressing (see command PREC p85) and a pre-stressing cable (see command CABLE
p87) .
The definition of the action of a cable can only be used in the description of a load, i.e.
between the keywords LOAD and END.
In the instructions above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL. The instruction will act
on all defined cables during the execution of the load.
Deferred losses calculated within a load are only taken into account in a simplified manner.
To incorporate delayed effects more accurately you need to use phasing (see command
PHASAGE p162 only for users of ST1 version 2).

In the case of a simultaneous consideration of losses due to shrinkage, creep and relaxation, it is
necessary (see section 3.3,24 BPEL) to weight losses due to relaxation using the coefficient 5 / 6.
This coefficient corresponds to the coefficient cf of the instruction RELAX cf (see p113).

8.1 - DEFINITION OF TRAFFIC LOADS
8.1.1 - PRESENTATION
The ST1 live loads refer either to the French regulatory loads set out in Issue 61 of Title II of the
C.P.C. (Book of the common requirements applicable to public works contracts covered by Road
Building services) and the circular on exceptional transport R / EG 3 dated 20 July 1983, being the
loads of the Eurocode EN 1991-2.
ST1 distinguishes three types of live loads:
- loads distributed between zeros on the influence line (Al, ..., Pavement)
- rolling loads (Bc, Bt, ..., MC120, exceptional, etc.)
- Eurocode loads (LM1, LM2, LM3, LM4)
Loads predefined by French regulations (Bc, Al, ...) are expressed in tons. To get results in
kilo-Newtons (kN), the loads must be balanced by a factor of 9.81 (see. option POND of the
command LIVE_LOAD p128, p134and p153).
Predefined loads of Eurocode (LM1, LM2, etc), are expressed in kilo-Newton (see p150).
Exceptional loads under French regulations are expressed in tons if they are expressed alone.
They are expressed in kilo-Newton when used with the Eurocode LM3.
For each study section (see command STUDY p93), and for each effect (stress, displacement, strain,
etc.), ST1 determines the corresponding line of influence, and positions the live loads so as to obtain
the extremes of the effect studied.
Live loads can be positioned longitudinally and transversely depending on the location of roads and
pavements on the structure studied.

LIVE LOADS
ST1 - List of commands (Operating Loads) 119
The definition of the profile across ((see. command DECK p121) allows the automatic consideration of
widths of lanes and cross-sectional weighting coefficients as well as the effect of the eccentricities of
lanes for the structures GRILL or SPATIAL (e.g.: checkerboard load of A (l) for the study of the
torsion).
The study of the live expenses required in ST1 :
- the definition of an apron (see command DECK p121)
- the definition of a live_load ((see command LIVE_LOAD p128, p134 and p153)
- the running of the study(see command EXEC LIVE_LOAD p161)

8.1.2 - METHODS USED
The search for extremes in live loads depends on the live_load used (see command LIVE_LOAD
p128p134 and p153) the calculation option (see command OPTION p41) and the definition of the
apron (see command DECK p121).
Two types of studies can be used:
- only a longitudinal study
- a longitudinal and transverse study
TYPE LOADS: TRUCK CONVOY (BC, MC ...)
LONGITUDINAL STUDY
The longitudinal positioning of convoys is determined by the study of lines of influence. This means
calculating the influence of a convoy of trucks, and positioning as many trucks as necessary to obtain
the extreme of the desired effect.
TRANSVERSAL STUDY
The transversal study is achieved in two steps (in the case of Tome 61 Title II):
- independent study of each loadable line and cumulates the effect of each line with a regulatory
transversal digressive weighting.
- calculation of the line of influence of n lead trucks taking into account the regulatory
transversal digressive weighting and then operation of this line of influence
The second step is generally only needed for the study of torsion.
LOADS DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN ZEROS ON THE LINE OF INFLUENCE (A(L), ..., PAVEMENT)
LONGITUDINAL STUDY
The loaded areas are determined by studying the zeros of the lines of influence. Positive or negative
areas are loaded so as to obtain the extreme of the required effect.
TRANSVERSAL STUDY
The effect due to several transversal lanes is obtained by accumulating the effect of each lane
independently, weighted by the regulatory transversal digressive coefficients.

the following syntax:

if 5.00<=width<=6.00 nvoie=2
otherwise nvoie=width/3)

default pasl=0.50m)

geometrically continuous set of bars)
ldif Width of distribution around the wheel impacts, diffusion occurs in the longitudinal
and transverse directions, the final size of the distributed impact is therefore the size
of impact plus twice its distribution width ldif (by default ldif=0). Diffusion is
restricted to the total width of the defined transversal zones. Diffusion does not apply
to distributed loads (AL, UDL, etc).
listekb list of bars on which are applied the same transversal distribution coefficients (by
default listekb=listeb)

The class of road bridges referred to in Article 3 of Tome. 61 Title II of the C.P.C:
class 1 7.00 m <= rolling width (or specific cases)
class 2 5.50 m < rolling width < 7.00m
class 3 rolling width <=5.50m
For loads A (l), Bc and Bt of Tome. 61 Title II, the transversal weightings are defined from the
class of the construction (keyword CLASSE).
The class definition has no influence on the loads other than loads A (l), Bc and Bt of Tome 61
Title II
Longitudinal and transversal positioning of live loads is only possible if the location of lanes
(see keyword ZONE_TRANS p121), and the allocation of loads on these lanes are defined ((see
LIVE_LOAD command p128, p134 and p153) In the event that any of these conditions is not
fulfilled, ST1 is limited to a longitudinal positioning of loads without transversal weighting.
In accordance with the philosophy of ST1, a redefinition of the apron does not reset the entire
apron, but only takes the changes made into account.
In particular, if several zones are defined in a first apron, and if a second apron is defined with
a number of areas below the first apron, areas not redefined are retained.
If you want to delete them, just set areas lengths to zero. This may be necessary for
calculations with transversal distribution or when using OPTION SPATIAL.

ST1 - List of commands (Operating Loads) 123
Cross section - transversal areas
The cross section of the roadway is described in ST1 by transverse cutting the apron into juxtaposed
areas ((see keyword ZONE_TRANS p121)
The sum of the widths of the zones defined determines the width of the apron. It is always centred on
the axis of the bars that serve as support.
The transverse areas so defined do not have an a priori allocation, and should be loaded using live
loads (see LIVE_LOAD command p128, p134 and p153).

ST1 - List of commands (Operating Loads) 125
Transversal distribution command
REP_TRANS is only defined in OPTION PLANE and enables acceptance of the transversal
distribution defined by the user (for example Courbon type).
Moving loads are then automatically placed longitudinally and transversely according to the stress
component designed for all points of study.
REP_TRANS cannot be defined without defining ZONE_TRANS. The cross section weighted by
REP_TRANS is defined by all of the areas described by ZONE_TRANS.
Three cases can occur:
- if the list of coefficients contains only one value, that value is retained for the entire cross
section, the transversal position of the load has no effect, and the coefficient introduced acts as
a simple weighting factor
- If the list of coefficients contains two values, these two values are the coefficients of the point
of study for loads applied to the outer edges of all areas of the cross section defined by
ZONE_TRANS
- If the list includes more than two values, the first coefficient and the last coefficient of the list
listek are applied to the outer edges of the cross section defined by ZONE_TRANS, the other
coefficients are then distributed over the cross section at constant intervals depending on the
number of coefficients provided
The values of distribution coefficients are taken equal to 1 for the bars on the main list listeb
that are not used in listekb.

pasc maximum step of displacement of moving loads on the lines of influence
(by default pasc=0.5)
psens direction of displacement of rolling loads on the apron
(psens=1 increasing, psens=2 decreasing, by default psens=3 in both
directions)
pond Weight coefficient on the live_load (by default pond=1)
The commands EFFORT, DEPLA, STRESS, STRESS j, PRESS and REAC are used to define a preferred
component. The study of the live_load is to find the two extremes of this component and the
concomitant values of the other components.
By default there is no concomitance, i.e. the study of the live_load is to establish the extremes of all
components.

For live loads, the envelope of displacement can only be done as per the study sections defined
on the bars (see command STUDY p93). The node displacement envelope is never studied.
The inclusion of live loads requires the definition of an apron (see command DECK p121) the
definition of a live_load (see command LIVE_LOAD p128, p134 and p153) and the running of
the live_load (see command EXEC LIVE_LOAD p161).
Longitudinal and transversal positioning of live loads is only possible if the location of lanes
(see command DECK p121, and the allocation of loads on these lanes are defined (see keyword
ZONE p128) In the event that any of these conditions is not fulfilled, ST1 is limited to a
longitudinal positioning of a line of trucks without transversal weighting.
Rolling loads travel in two directions on the apron. The results are nevertheless sensitive to
moving loads (see command PAS_CONV p134).
The rolling loads, assigned to specific areas, are placed across the width of the areas assigned.
This applies to type B loads, which are military and exceptional. It is therefore up to the user
to define the widths of suitable areas

In addition to the regulatory loads of Tome 61 Title II (see commands AL, etc, SIDEWALK p128), you

density varies in relation to the loaded length. These loads known as A(l) generalised loads are
described according the following syntax:
ALG i ('Title distributed load ')

longi loaded length
densi positive load density (per 1 m wide) corresponding to a loaded length equal to
longi (the load density depends on the loaded length)
Is described step by step using couples (longi, densi)
if the loaded length is outside the explicitly defined interval, the density of the
nearest terminal is applied)
v0 reference width (or nominal) of a lane
this parameter enables calculation of a weighting coefficient (a2) of the surface
load to obtain an identical linear load for each lane, regardless of its actual width
a2=v0 / actual width of the channel
by default v0 is not defined which is equivalent to loading the apron over a width of:
-1.00m if the transversal areas are not defined (see commands DECK
p121 and LIVE_LOAD p128, p134 and p153)
- the width of the transversal areas if defined

The components used are:
Option PLANE fx, fy, mz
Option GRILL mx, fz, mz
Option SPATIAL fx, fy, fz, mx, my, mz
(by default, the direction is according to the direction of dead weight)
The inclusion of live loads requires the definition of an apron (see command DECK p121) the
definition of a live_load (see command LIVE_LOAD p128, p134 and p153) and the running of
the live_load (see command EXEC LIVE_LOAD p161).
Longitudinal and transversal positioning of live loads is only possible if the location of lanes
(see command DECK p121), and the allocation of loads on these lanes are defined ((see
command LIVE_LOAD p128, p134 and p153) In the event that any of these conditions is not
fulfilled, ST1 is limited to a longitudinal positioning of loads without transversal weighting.

8.7 - DEFINITION OF EUROCODE LOADS
ST1 also enables the application of loads in accordance with
Eurocode 1-2 (EN 1991-2).
Reminder: Eurocode loads are expressed in kN.
The load models used in ST1 are:
Model Loads Description
LM1
UDL uniformly distributed load of constant density
TS tandem type rolling load with two axles
LM2 essieu single-axle load (two wheels of 200 kN each)
LM3
UDL as LM1
TS as LM1
VS special type vehicle rolling load
Each model also supports the distributed load on the remaining areas, i.e. the parts of loadable areas
not loaded with a lane.
The TS load consists of two axles, the weight of each axle is in format
Q
.
Q
k
, where
Q
are adjustment
factors. The impact surface of each wheel is assumed to be a square of 0.40 m on each side.
The UDL load corresponds to a weight per square metre equal to
q
.
q
k
,
q
being an adjustment factor.
The characteristic values of loads UDL and TS are as follows:
Position
Tandem TS UDL
Axle load Q ik (kN) q
ik
(or q
rk
) (kN/m)
lane 1 300 9
lane 2 200 2.5
lane 3 100 2.5
other lanes 0 2.5
residual areas 0 2.5
For each lane number, the values of adjustment coefficients depend on the traffic class. Eurocode 1-2

The maximum number of loaded lanes and their width are defined in relation to the loadable width; in
accordance with the table below:
Loadable width (L) Number of lanes Width of a lane (metres)
L <5.40 m 1 3.00
5.40 <= L <6.00 2 L / 2
6.00 <L Integer (L / 3) 3.00
When the width of the deck is divided into several loadable areas, the loadable width to be considered
for determining the number of lanes is the total loadable width, to which must be added the width of
separators if they are not permanent physical structures.
The numbering of lanes is common to the entire loadable width (for details, see EN 1991-2, 4.2.3 and
4.2.4).
Eurocode loads are used in the exemple4.st1 file p262.

The X axis is longitudinal.
The diagram shows two TS type vehicles, placed side by side; the longitudinal position of each one is
independent, and results from the shape of the surface of influence.
Each TS has two axles.
In ST1, each TS moves on an axis centred on its lane.
The model No.1 also includes a distributed load (UDL) of constant density. It is applied only on the
adverse parts of loadable areas, longitudinally and transversely.
For each surface element and load, weighting is applied depending on the lane number that contains
the item. It can be located on a loadable part of the apron, away from lanes (residual areas).

9.1 - DEFINITION OF PHASING
Phasing contains a chronological description of activations and stresses on a structure. It accurately
records the phasing of construction and deferred behaviour of materials.

ST1 - List of commands (commands ST1 version 2) 164
In the phasing of construction, where the date does not change, but new fixed loads are applied
to a structure already pre-stressed (e.g. a load, enabling or disabling of supports or bars, cable
tensioning) and the keyword AND is omitted, the cables already under tension undergo
additional losses of tension through elastic deformation.
p

ij
E
K
E
o o A = A
with K = 0. the tensioning and K = 1 loading
As a result of new loads applied, there is a redistribution of the effects of pre-stress in the
structure. A calculation is made with just one iteration. For example, a pre-stressed beam
already under its own dead weight, to which we apply a new superstructure load, is deformed
under the effect of this new load. The pre-stressing cable undergoes additional deformation
related to the new load and therefore has an additional live_load that changes the concrete
stress diagram yet again.
The description of phasing does not generate results, it is limited to storage of the definition in
the database. The command EXEC PHASAGE generates the results.
Phasing should include the enabling of all elements of the structure (not enabled by default) in
a logical order of construction. For example, you must activate the supports before the bars
are inter-connected.
The enabling of a group of bars simultaneously in phasing must respect the order of
construction, i.e. starting with the supported bars before enabling the bars that are not
supported.

ST1 - List of commands (commands ST1 version 2) 165
9.2 - PHASING SEQUENCE
Phasing can be declared as a sequence of one or more phasings using the following syntax:
SUITE PHASAGE liste
with:
liste phasing list already run
One phasing may contain an unlimited sequence of instructions. In theory this means you can
describe in a single phasing all the phases of a project. However, when a site has several workstations
simultaneously, it is more convenient to describe the tasks for each station in a separate phasing.
EXAMPLE
PHASAGE 1 'construction du fleau 1'
END PHASAGE
PHASAGE 2 'construction du fleau 2'
END PHASAGE
PHASAGE 3 'clavage des fleaux 1 et 2'
SUITE PHASAGE 1,2
END PHASAGE
In the example above an element cannot be activated in both the phasing 1and in phasing 2 as
this would lead to ambiguity about the status of the item during phasing 3.
The definition of a phasing sequence cannot be used other than in the description of phasing,
i.e. between the keywords PHASAGE and END PHASAGE.
ST1 - List of commands (commands ST1 version 2) 166
9.3 - DEFINITION OF ENVELOPES IN PHASING
It is possible to define envelopes within phasing in order to take into account extremes of effort, stress
or displacements that occur during running phasing. The definition of an envelope is achieved using
the following syntax:
ENV i ('Title enveloppe')
( < EFFORT <N,TY,TZ,MX,MY,MZ>,
DEPLA <DX,DY,DZ,RX,RY,RZ>,
STRESS <VY,VZ,WY,WZ,VYVZ,VYWZ,WYVZ,WYWZ>,
STRESSG c
PRESS <PX,PY,PZ,MX> > )
(REAC <FX,FY,FZ,MX,MY,MZ>)
with:
i number of envelopes to create
The commands EFFORT, DEPLA, STRESS and REAC are used to define a preferred component. The
envelope consists of finding the two extremes of this component and the concomitant values of the
other components.
The key words used are:
(EFFORT) DEPLA STRESS PRESS (REAC)
Option PLANE n, ty, mz dx, dy, rz vy, wy px, py fx, fy, mz
Option GRILL mx, tz, my rx, dz, ry vz, wz pz, mx fz, my
Option SPATIAL n, ty, tz,
mx, my, mz
dx, dy, dz,
rx, ry, rz
vyvz, vywz,
wyvz, wywz
px, py, pz fx, fy, fz
mx, my, mz
EXAMPLE
PHASAGE 1 'Exemple phasage'
ENV 1 # enveloppe sans concomitance
ENV 2 EFFORT MZ # enveloppe sur les efforts mz
END PHASAGE
A concomitance may be made requested on both the support reactions and the study sections
ENV i ('Title').
The definition of a phasing envelope cannot be used other than in the description of phasing,
i.e. between the keywords PHASAGE and END PHASAGE.
ST1 - List of commands (commands ST1 version 2) 167
Consideration of the extremes in phasing may be interrupted for a list of envelopes using the
command:
DEACTIVATE ENV liste
Disabled envelopes can be reactivated using the command:
ACTIVATE ENV liste
EXAMPLE: DEFINITION OF AN ENVELOPE CONTAINING THE EXTREMES OF ALL PHASES OF PHASING
1 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PHASES BETWEEN THE DATES 180 AND 200 DAYS
PHASAGE 1 'Exemple phasage'
ENV 1
DATE 180
DEACTIVATE ENV 1
DATE 200
ACTIVATE ENV 1
END
The envelopes take account the essential steps in the calculation (STATE, DATE), they do not
take into account intermediate stages: for example, applying two loads in a row in the same
phase, without intermediate STATE, only the effect of the accumulated two loads is taken into
account.
EXAMPLE: PHASING WITH INTERMEDIARY ENVELOPE
PHASAGE 1 phasage sans intermdiaire'
ENV 1
LOAD
BAR 1 UNI FY 1
BAR 1 UNI FY 1
END
STATE 10
END
PHASAGE 2 'phasage avec intermdiaire'
ENV 2
LOAD BAR 1 UNI FY 1
STATE 5
LOAD BAR 1 UNI FY -1
STATE 10
END
Dans cet exemple, dans le phasage 1, leffet de la load est nul sur lenveloppe 1
alors que dans le phasage 2, leffet de la load apparat sur lenveloppe 2.
9.4 - DEFINITION OF A DATE
In the event that you wish to take into account the effect of long-term behaviour of materials (creep,
relaxation) it is necessary to define the dates of the various construction phases.
The definition of a date is achieved using the following syntax:
DATE date
with:
date new current phasing date expressed in days
EXAMPLE: DEFINITION OF PHASING WITH TEMPORAL DEFINITION OF PHASES
PHASAGE 1 'construction du fleau 1'
ACTIVATE RESTRAINT 1
DATE 12 # nouvelle date courante
ACTIVATE BAR 10,11 AGE 12 MODE ABS
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 10,11
TENDRE CABLE 101,201
DATE 15 # nouvelle date courante
ACTIVATE BAR 9,12 AGE 3 MODE ABS
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 9,12
TENDRE CABLE 102,202
DATE 22 # nouvelle date courante
END
At the beginning of phasing the current date is 0 days.
During phasing the chronology should be ongoing. Any new date must be higher than the old
current date.
In the case of a project with multiple simultaneous sites, it may be useful to describe each
position in an independent phasing. These phasings are then recalled into a final phasing,
corresponding to the splicing of the sections already constructed (see command SUITE
PHASAGE p165).
The definition of a current date cannot be used other than in the description of phasing, i.e.
between the commands PHASAGE and END PHASAGE (see p162).
By default, AGE is 0 (i.e. the initial age of the concrete) on enabling of the bar.
The starting age is therefore independent of the enabling date of the bars.
For long-term effects, or if you wish to study developments only in the light of the laws of
concrete behaviour, you should use a progressive sequence of dates and not directly give a start
and end date with too wide a gap.
Indeed, the behavioural law being non-linear between two dates, for a realistic progression of
the law, we suggest a division like this:
date 300
date 1000
date 3000
date 10000
date 30000
rather than writing:
date 300
date 30000
9.5 - ENABLING OF SUPPORTS AND JACKING
Enabling support during phasing is achieved using the syntax:
ACTIVATE RESTRAINT liste
Jacking the supports is achieved using the syntax:
JACK RESTRAINT liste
with:
liste list of supports
In general the enabling of elements of a structure should be conducted according to the logic imposed
by the actual construction of this structure. More specifically, the supports must be enabled before the
bars they are to support.
If the node supporting the support structure is already enabled, the support is positioned on the
deformed structure using the command ACTIVATE RESTRAINT liste.
To impose a zero displacement at the new support you should complement enabling by the command
JACK RESTRAINT (the movement of active degrees of freedom are reduced to 0).
EXAMPLE
Take a structure whose state of deformation is shown schematically below:
1 2 3
The command ACTIVATE RESTRAINT 3 places a support on node 3 in its deformed state.
1 2 3
The command JACK RESTRAINT 3 should be added to reduce the node 3 displacement to zero.
1 2 3
In phasing, there is no default enabling. At the beginning of phasing, the structure is empty.
The enabling or disabling of an element within a phasing only has an effect during the
execution of these phases. The enabling status of the current structure that is taken into account
by the command EXEC LOAD (see p116) is not changed.
9.6 - BAR ENABLING
Enabling bars during phasing is achieved using the syntax:
ACTIVATE BAR liste (AGE age) (MODE<REL,ABS>)
with:
liste list of bars to be activated
age age of the material of the bar (this command is used only in the case of older
material)
By default, AGE as the value 0 (initial age of concrete) at the activation of the bar.
If the user studies a phasage without time evolution, if AGE is not defined (or if age is set to 0)
the Young Modulus E of material of the bar will be the instantaned modulus.
In a phasage with time evolution, if the bar is affected with a material for wich the modulus E is
not given directly by the user, but calculated by ST1, the usermust defined an age strictly
positive in the general case. The modulus E calculated will be the modulus of the given age.
If the user wants a reduce participation of concrete for a bar, the user must define a very small
value of age for this bar, but the value must be strictly positive. Obviously this bars must not be
loaded immedialtly, otherwise there will be a risk of numerical instability because the bar will
not have no rigidity, and won't be inversible.
The only case where age 0 is usefull in case of phasage with a time evolution is when the
concerned bars are affected with pretension cables: indeed the hardening of concrete of bar
and its interraction with presstress before the release of the prestress bench are taken in
account by ST1.Thus the modulus E will vary form 0 to the value of modulus got the time
where the bench is released.
The enabling of a bar can be achieved using several methods depending on the state of deformation
nodes at the ends of the bar.
The type of enabling is determined by the keywords MODE REL (default mode) and MODE ABS :
- relative mode (MODE REL) corresponds to an enabling according to the extension of the
structural part already activated. This mode is usually used for the activation of precast
segments of a brige built using corbels.
- Absolute mode (MODE ABS) is an enabling that catches up on the un-deformed geometry. This
mode is generally used when activating cast in place segments of a bridge built using corbels
because it provides direct construction cambers
The command JACK RESTRAINT can be useful in complement of this command, depending of the
real evolution of the contruction.
EXAMPLE
Take the structure in the state of deformation as follows:
1 2 3
The command ACTIVATE BAR 3 MODE REL activates the bar 3 in the following configuration:
1 2 3
The command ACTIVATE BAR 3 MODE ABS has the effect of activating the bar 3 in the following
configuration:
1 2 3
EXAMPLE
In case that the two ends of the bar are already distorted, relative and absolute modes are equivalent.
Take the structure in the following state of deformation:
1 2 3 4 5
The commands ACTIVATE BAR 3 MODE REL ou ACTIVATE BAR 3 MODE ABS have the effect of
activating the bar 3 in the following configuration:
1 2 3 4 5
In phasing, there is no default enabling. At the beginning of the phasing structure is empty.
The enabling of a bar does not automatically generate its dead weight. This must be generated
by a load command (see command LOAD p99).
EXAMPLE: ENABLING OF BAR 2 TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE DEAD WEIGHT
PHASAGE 1
ACTIVATE BAR 2
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 2
END PHASAGE
The enabling or disabling of an element within a phasing only has an effect when this phasing
is run. The current enabling status of the structure which is taken into account using the
command EXEC LOAD (cf. p116) is not changed.
9.7 - DISABLING BARS AND SUPPORTS
Supports are disabled using the syntax:
DEACTIVATE RESTRAINT liste
with:
liste list of supports to be disabled
Bar disabling is achieved using the syntax:
DEACTIVATE BAR liste
with:
liste list of bars to be disabled
Disabling an element (bar or support) is equivalent to deleting it on the real structure.
EXAMPLE
Take a structure whose state of deformation is shown schematically below:
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
The command DEACTIVATE RESTRAINT 2 has the effect of removing the support 2. The current
structure becomes:
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
The command DEACTIVATE BAR 3,4 has the effect of removing the bars 3 and 4. The current
structure becomes:
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
4
5
The enabling or disabling of an element within a phasing is effective only when these phases
are run. The current enabling status of the structure that is taken into account by the command
EXEC LOAD (cf. p116) is not changed.
9.8 - DEFINITION OF STRESSES ON THE STRUCTURE
The definition of stress within a phasing is achieved using the syntax:
LOAD
dfinition des sollicitations
END
or
LOAD (dfinition d'une sollicitation)
Instructions for defining the stress of the structure during phasing are identical to the loading
instructions. Refer to Chapter LOADING for the full list of these instructions.
EXAMPLE
PHASAGE 1
ACTIVATE BAR 2 AGE 12
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 2
LOAD
BAR 5 CON XL 0.2 REL FX 12.
NODE 3 FY 0.2
END
END PHASAGE
9.9 - TENSIONING CABLES
Tensioning a list of cables within a phasing is achieved using the syntax:
TENDRE CABLE liste ((NOT) INJECTE)
with:
Liste list of cables to be tensioned
By default the cables are tensioned injected and in post-tension.
Once a cable is stretched, the deformation of a section in a bar containing the cable induces a tension
change of the cable. This change takes place locally if the cable is injected, and over a length
depending on the coefficient of friction of the cable in its sheath if the cable is not injected.
EXAMPLE
PHASAGE 1
ACTIVATE BAR 2 AGE 12
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 2
TENDRE CABLE 1
END PHASAGE
The details on consideration of pre-stress are given in Chapters EFFETS INSTANTANES DE
LA PRECONTRAINTE p290 and EFFETS DIFFERES CAS D'UN PHASAGE p295.
In the case of post-tension, the act of tensioning a cable on a bar immediately gives the
situation after the cable on the bar is released ((the bar contracts under the action of the cable,
but the cable retains its tension (tensioning value controlled by the action of the jack)).
However, instant losses (anchoring withdrawal and friction) are applied immediately.
9.10 - RELAXATION OF CABLES
The relaxation a list of cables within a phasing is achieved using the command:
DETENDRE CABLE liste
with:
liste list of cables to be relaxed
To be relaxed, a cable should already be under tension (see command TENDRE CABLE p176).
The details of consideration of pre-stress is given in the Chapters EFFETS INSTANTANES DE
LA PRECONTRAINTE p290 and EFFETS DIFFERES CAS D'UN PHASAGE p295.
9.11 - TENSIONING PRE-STRESS CABLES ON THE BENCH
Placing a list of pre-stress cables on the bench during phasing is achieved using the syntax:
TENSION_BENCH CABLE liste
with:
Liste list of cables to be tensioned
Placing on the bench creates tension in the cable, but no stress is applied to the list of bars to
which the cable is allocated. Instant losses due to the bench anchoring device (losses due to the
comb for example) should be calculated by the user and integrated either into the bench
stresses, or into instant losses in the pre-stressing system.
9.12 - PRE-STRESSING BARS BY RELAXING THE BENCH
The tensioning of cross members by pre-stressing from a list of cables in a phasing is achieved using
the command:
RELEASE_BENCH CABLE liste
with:
liste list of cables to be released from the bench in order to pre-stress cross members
To be released, a cable should already be tensioned on the bench (see command
TENSION_BENCH)..
When you release the bench, the pre-stressing cables shall apply pre-tensioning on the bars
concerned. These bars deform, which induces a drop in pre-stressing tension. Ideally, users
should use the net section of the bars to get a result closer to the theoretical result for final
deformation (the gap is usually relatively small, however, with the usual calculation in gross
section).
EXAMPLE
PHASAGE 1
DATE 1
ACTIVATE BAR 2 AGE 0
TENSION_BENCH CABLE 1,2,3
DATE 10
RELEASE_BENCH CABLE 1,2,3
END PHASAGE
It is imperative to enable the bar where the pre-stressing cable applies, before tensioning the
cable on the bench
EXAMPLE
PHASAGE 2
DATE 0
ACTIVATE BAR 2 AGE -2
TENSION_BENCH CABLE 1
DATE 5
RELEASE_BENCH CABLE 1
END PHASAGE
If we impose a negative age applies to the bar where the pre-stressing cable will apply, the
cross member has near zero mechanical properties before reaching the age 0 and non-zero
near the age of 0 (which means that the cross member concrete is cast upon reaching the age of
0). The relaxation of the cables is taken into account before pouring the concrete and does not
affect the cross member in question as it has not reached the age of 0 for pouring concrete. So
finally the tension applied to the beam is the initial tension minus the effect of relaxation before
pouring concrete. In the previous example, for 2 days, the cable expands by relaxation and the
cross member is not stressed, and on date 5, the concrete reaches the age of 3 days, so the
beam undergoes withdrawal creep corresponding to 3 days while the effort put into pre-
stressing the beam to bench release will be reduced by the effect of 5 days of relaxation.
In the case of heat treatment, it is assumed that curing begins at age 0 of the concrete. The
resistance value of the end of curing fcp will be obtained at the specified curing end date in the
materials laws, tensioning should only be done after that date. Moreover, heat loss on the pre-
stressing cable are considered in bench relaxation..
9.13 - STATE OF THE STRUCTURE
The state of stresses and deformations within a phasing can be saved by:
STATE i ('Title state')
with:
i number of the state
Saving the state of stress and deformation during a phasing enables the use of the results saved for
editing, a combination or an envelope.

In general the results in a status are in harmony with loading results.
9.14 - MODIFICATION OF SUPPORTS
The modification of a list of supports within a phasing is achieved using the syntax:
MODIFIER RESTRAINT liste (nouvelle dfinition)
with:
liste list of supports to modify
The new definition is made according to the syntax used for the definition of supports (see command
RESTRAINT p45). The new support definition applies to the deformed structure. To return to an initial
deformation of zero, you must complete the instruction using the command JACK RESTRAINT.
EXAMPLE
Take the structure where the state of deformation is shown schematically below:
1 2 3
The command MODIFIER RESTRAINT 3 NODE 2 displaces support 3 on node 2 whilst preserving
the deformation on node 2 :
1 2 3
The command JACK RESTRAINT 3 has the effect of reducing the displacement of the support to 0:
1 23
The command MODIFIER RESTRAINT 1 DX DY has the effect of removing embedding of support1:

9.14 - MODIFICATION OF SUPPORTS
The modification of a list of supports within a phasing is achieved using the syntax:

initial deformation, the instruction must be completed by the command JACK RESTRAINT.
EXAMPLE

The command MODIFIER RESTRAINT 1 DX DY has the effect of removing the embedding of

9.15 - RUNNING PHASINGS
The previously defined phasings are run using the following command:
EXEC PHASAGE (liste)
with:
liste list of numbers of previously defined phasings
By default, all defined phasings (see. command PHASAGE p162) will be run.
A phasing defined as the result of another phasing (see command SUITE PHASAGE p165)
must be run before the originator.
The command EXEC PHASAGE triggers call-up of the runnable module containing the
procedures for solving the problem, and stores the results in a database.
In the instruction above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL. The instruction will act on
all defined phasings (this is then equivalent to do not place list).
ST1 - Lists of commands (Dynamic) 183
10.1 - INTRODUCTION TO CALCULTATION OF EIGEN MODES
The definition of eigen mass is define 2.11 - eigen mass (dynamic).
The calculation of eigen modes are avalaible only from the masses attached to the nodes of the
structure, therefore the user must discretize the structure with a sufficient amount of nodes in
order to be representative of the modes of vibrations needed. The command STUDY(cf. Study
Area) has no effect on the calculation of eigen modes, but only on the output for the post-processing.
The eigen masses can be appplied directly to the nodes, in this case, the masses must be directly
calculated by the user. The eigen masses can also be calculated automatically to each ends of bars,
either with a diagonal matrix (option by default), or with a consistent matrix (presence of terms ouside
of the diagonal, see formulation in Annexe). NB: the excentricity of bars is taken in account for the
excentricty of eigen masses. The excentricty in torsion is not taken in account.
For instance, an isostatic deck must not be modelised in 2D by only one bar, but must be cut in a
sucession of bars (ten bars for instance) to get a repartition of mass uniform and not only 2 masses at
the both ends of the deck, because it would not be a good representation of the behavior of the flexion
of the span. The same rule has to be applied for a pier or an abutment, the element of support and its
fondations must be enough discretrized to take in account correctly the distribution of mass of this
support.
The masses must have been declared with mass unity, and thus a factor "g_dyn" is to introduce in the
definition of materials for the convertion of the weight of the bars in unit of mass for the automatic
calculation of eigen masses.
The eigen modes are normalised with the matrix of mass, therefore the generalised mass of an eigen
mode is set to 1.

10.2 - FULFILLING EIGEN MODES
The calculation of eigen modes is fulfilled by the following command :
EXEC MODE (nb) ( METHOD <1,2> )
or
EXEC MODE ( METHOD <1,2> ) (<FREQUENCY fq, RATIO rt >)(ADVANCE nm)
with :
nb Number of eigen modes to calculate (by default a maximum of 100 modes is to be
calculated).
fq Cut Eigen Frequence (maximum frequence to reach for the last mode to calculate)
rt Ratio of modal participation to reach in percentage
j Number of spectrum for spectral analysis
nm Number of eigen modes for increment to reach the target for the modal ratio or the cut
frequency (by default a step of 10 modes is used).
The command EXEC MODE allow to stock the results in database.
The method 1 is the method by inverse iteration. This method calculate each eigen mode
successivly. This method is automatically chosen if the user asks for a cut eigen frequence or
for a ratio of modal participation.
The method 2 is the method by iteration of sub space of the eigen vectors. This method is the
fastest method, because the all nb eigen modes are calculated together. This method is chosen
by default.
If the user asks for a cut eigen frequency or for a minimum ratio of modal participation,
combined with the 2
nd
method, "nm" eigen modes are calculated together each time, and only
mode with the first method .
EXAMPLE 1: CALCULATION OF THE 5 FIRST MODES
MASS EIGEN
BAR all
FIN
...
EXEC MODE 5
EXAMPLE 2: CALCULATION OF MODES IN ORDER TO REACH 70% OF THE TOTAL EIGEN MASS
EXEC MODE RATIO 70
EXAMPLE 3: CALCULATION OF MODES IN ORDER TO REACH THE FREQUENCY OF 10HZ
EXEC MODE FREQUENCY 10
The number of iteration for the method 2 is fixed in the parameter file st1.par (10 by default)
To improve the accuracy of the results (if a possible warning appear in the file of error), the
number of iteration can be modified in the file st1.par (100 for instance); obvioulsy it will have
an impact on the time of calculation. Then the number of eigen modes to calculate can be
modified or the number of modes "nm" in the case of calculation with modal ratio.
Some problems of numerical convergences can appear on higher modes : in gnral, it comes
from some small structural elements modelised by the user are too stiff in comparison to the
global structural. For instance, you have to use stiff elements with appropriate caracteristics
(K=E*I/L
3
), you must modify only one parameter (E, I or L) and not all parameters together,
otherwise you will probably get a too high stiffness not allowed for numerical calculations.
Other example, you should not define shear sections (SY, SZ) if you do not want any shear
deformation rather than define shear sections with high values.

10.3 - DYNAMIC DAMPING
The damping is usefull for spectral analysis and time history. Three kinds of viscous damping can be
defined : the damping of Rayleigh (the matrix of damping is defined proportionally to the matrix of
mass and to the matrix of the stiffness), the modal damping (a coefficient of viscous damping is
defined for each mode), the coefficient of damping used for the calculation of the average modal
damping (fonction of the deformation's energy under the effect of each mode - EN 1998-2 4.1.3).
The damping is defined by the following command :
DAMPING i
<
AUTO MASS alpha STIFFNESS beta,
MODE j KSI ksij
...,
ENERGY KSI ksij
>
(POND pond)
END
with :
i Number of the dynamic damping
alpha, beta Ponderation for the definition of the damping matrix according to the
rayleigh method (alpha is for the mass matrix M and beta for the stiffness
matrix K)
j Number of the eigen mode
ksij Fraction of damping for the eigen mode j (By default, ksij=0)
pond Ponderation applied on coefficients ksij or alpha, beta
The DAMPING is linked to the bars with the commands CONS and MAT (voir p71,p72 et
p73).
The command DAMPING must be located before the command EXEC SPECTRE or EXEC
HISTORY.
In the case of rayleigh damping, the damping matrix is given as:
[C]=pond*(alpha*[M]+beta* [K])
Fraction of damping for the eigen mode n with the frequency wn=2/Tn :
ksin= pond*(alpha/(2*wn)+beta*wn/2)
For the calculatation of a damping with energy of deformation, the coefficient of an average
modal damping for the mode j is written as :

B3 - DELAYED EFFECTS - CASE OF PHASING
This paragraph only applies to users of ST1 version 2.
Depending on the material and the tensioning device defined ST1 is likely to vary the following
parameters depending on the time:
- Young's modulus
- deformation due to shrinkage
- deformation due to creep
- tension in the active steel
The first three parameters are related to the definition of the material of the bars (see command MAT
p73), the fourth depends on the type of pre-stress device used (see command PREC p85).
B3.1 - CONSIDERATION OF DELAYED EFFECTS IN MATERIALS
ST1 calculates in relation to time t the deformation (t) of the material subjected to a history of
stress (t) variable over time, and deformations of withdrawal or of thermal origin.
The following hypothesis of additivity, tried and tested by experience, has been adopted:
( )
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
T r f

E
o
c c c c = + + +
with:
E instantaneous modulus of elasticity of the material
cT(t) deformation of thermal origin
cr(t) deformation due to shrinkage
c](t) deformation due to creep
Developments in time of cr(t) and cT(t) are assumed to be known, independent of phenomena of elastic
deformation and creep.
B3.1.1 - DEFORMATION OF THERMAL ORIGIN
The cT (t) function is defined by the user using thermal loads (see command TEMP p108).
B3.1.2 - DEFORMATION DUE TO SHRINKAGE
The cr(t) function is defined under the regulations depending on the type of material and ambient
humidity conditions. Deformations are calculated automatically by ST1 for materials in accordance
with one of the regulations in ST1 (see details later in the chapter).
If the deformation is imposed at the level of the material, it is retained in the calculation with phasing,
otherwise it is calculated by ST1 according to the phasing.
B3.1.3 - DEFERRED DEFORMATION DUE TO CREEP
Taking creep into account calls upon the incremental method developed by MM. ACKER and
EYMARD of LCPC (see n 507-1992, Acker and Eymard - Annals of the Technical Institute of
Building and Public Works, and see BPEL99 appendix 1).
This method is based on the fact that it is possible to define a state of the material in terms of creep.
Knowledge of this state at a given date is then sufficient to determine the behaviour of the material at a
later date.
Thus, if one moves to a date t0 , and if one considers a material subjected to a history of solicitations, it
is possible, using a reduced number of parameters, to set the status of this material in terms of creep.
Knowing this state, it is then possible to find a shadow load (constant loading or loading / unloading)
producing the same state of the material.
ST1 - Appendices 296
For any date t greater than t0, the creep of material subjected to the initial solicitation is identical to the
creep of the material submitted to shadow loading.
It can be noted that the method of the equivalent time is identical to the incremental method for any
area where the state of the material in terms of creep can be obtained by a constant shadow load.
IMPLEMENTATION OF CREEP CALCULATION IN ST1
We accept the following simplifying assumptions:
- creep deformations due to tangent strains are negligible
- creep deformations due to the normal constraints are properly evaluated by reducing the
section to 2 fibres (in 2D) and 4 fibres (in 3D), by maintaining the flatness of geometric
sections
- cutting up in time steps is small enough for the strains to be assumed constant during each
time step
At each time step ST1 performs the following calculations:
- calculation of stresses in each fibre from the displacements of the sections of bar
- calculation of creep deformation of each fibre at the end of the time step
- generation of a case of load including creep deformations, shrinkage and the effects of the
relaxation of the cables
- update of structural displacements under this case of load
CALCULATION OF CREEP FOR EACH FIBRE
The incremental method to determine creep deformation in a time interval (t0, t) based on knowledge
of the data below:
- the characteristics of the material, independent of time, they are the result of various
parameters (instant module at 28 days, percentage of bonded reinforcements, average radius,
etc.)
- the features of the ambient environment, assumed constant in the range (t0, t), the ambient
environment is defined by its hygrometry
- the stress in the material assumed constant in the range (t0, t)
- the cumulative creep deformation over time t0 , value representing the state of concrete at time
t0 in terms of creep
ST1 - Appendices 297
B3.2 - CONSIDERATION OF DELAYED EFFECTS IN PRE-STRESSING REINFORCEMENTS
B3.2.1 - VARIATION IN TENSION DUE TO DEFERRED DEFORMATION OF COMPONENTS
Creep and shrinkage result in a distortion of the structural components over time. The effects of these
deformations are taken into account in the same way as the instantaneous deformations (see p312).
B3.2.2 - LOSS OF PRE-STRESS DUE TO RELAXATION OF STEEL
Losses by relaxation are defined by regulations depending on the type of pre-stressing reinforcement
used. These losses are calculated at each time step along each reinforcement in accordance with one
of the regulations in ST1.
