Property modifiers

Simplified and approximate calculation

Reduction of bending stifness (or axial

stifness)

Using module Property modifiers

Use quasi permanent combination

section

Creep is taking into account by using effective

module elasticity of concrete

only for member predominantly loaded by

bending

Concrete combinations have to be defined

Required or user (practical reinforcement)

has to be defined for member which should
be taken into account

• Deflection for whole structure is calculated

CDD – concrete combination
Scia Engineer
Three type of concrete combinations:

Combination for calculation immediate

permanent deflection – check box
„use to determine permanent CDD”

Combination for calculation deflection

caused by creep – check box „use to
determine CDD caused by creep”

Other combination without check

boxes are used for calculation elastic
deformation – use for evaluation of the
creep

One concrete combination (Quasi permanent combination) with both checkboxes ON

to use for EN code

CDD – type of reinforcement
Scia Engineer
Two types of reinforcement for CDD

Required(total ) reinforcement

User(practical) reinforcement

The linear stiffness will be used

formember without required or
practical reinfporcement

Type of reinforcement can be selected

in Concrete solver

The amount of reinforcement can be

increasing by Coefficient for
reinforcement in Solver setup

CDD – stiffness calculation

Two types of stiffness are calculated Scia Engineer

short-term (EI)r,short with module of elasticity Ec = Ecm,

long-term (EI)r,long with effective module Ec = Ec,eff ( formula 7.20),

Procedure for calculation of stiffness

calculation the transformed Css characteristic Ai, Ii, xi and cracking forces (EI)r =
ζ 1− ζ

(EI)II (EI)I

the stiffness of uncracked cross-section (EI)I =Ec*Ii is calculated

the values xr , Iir and max. tension stress in reinf. σsr in fully cracked Css for

cracking forces Nr and Mr σ 
ζ = 1 − β ⋅  sr 

the values xr , Iir and max. tension stress in reinf. σsr in fully cracked Css  σs 
for input forces N and M from concrete combination

the stiffness of fully cracked cross-section (EI)II =Ec*Iir is calculated

the distribution coefficient ζ is calculated (formula 7.19)

the intermediate stiffness (EI)r is calculated (formula 7.18)

CDD – calculation of deflection

Type of deformation Scia Engineer

creep deformation δcreep – difference deflections for stiffness (EI)r,long and (EI)r,short for
combination with check box “use to determine CDD caused by creep” is ON

immediate deformation δimm – deflection for (EI)r,short for combination with check box „ use
to determine permanent CDD” is ON

elastic deformation δelastic - deflection for (EI)r,short for selected concrete combination is

total deformation δtotal = δelastic + δcreep

additional deformation δadd = δtotal - δimm

Immediate deflection and deflection caused by creep are the same for all concrete combinations!!!!
