OBD/RM Bridge\Analyzer\Structure\Elements\Time allows the users to define the Elements parameters describing the behavior in time. The Element table includes parameters for governing the time behavior for:
- Status: Activation status of the element
- Inact: Element is not active (has not yet been activated or has been deactivated)
- Act: Element is active
- C&S: Creep and shrinkage:
- Age: Concrete age when the element is activated
- ts: Concrete age when the shrinkage process starts
- RH: Average relative air humidity of the environment of the element (in %)
- RPR: Stiffness ratio (As/Ac * Es/Ec)
- TMP: Average ambient air temperature on site
- THA: Damping behavior in dynamic time history analyses:
- Alpha;Beta: Rayleigh-damping constants: [c] = alfa*[m] + beta*[k]
- Damping: Modal damping ratio for assessment of the different natural modes in case of modal analysis with frequency-dependent damping. The global value Xsi defined in is taken if no element value is defined.
