PRESENTATION OF ST1
Chapter
1.
INTRODUCTION
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
2.
NEW FEATURES
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 p154)
 tension in the cables: (See p 214) for the loads, phasing and reports
 Pressuring pre-stressing: Linear-bilinear pressuring Eurocode EN1922-2 and parabolic
pressuring French Regulation rules (see p89)
 Pressuring cable: Cable sheathing (see p91)
 Concrete: Heat treatments for pressured constructions by pre-stressing Eurocode EN1922-2
and the French Regulation rules (see p74)
 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 p154)
 Concrete: Eurocode ZN1992-1-1 and EN1922-2 in addition to the French Regulation rules
(see p80)
 ability to define a transverse distribution in 2D modelling: Courbon, f (y), ... (see p125)
 Generalized stress complemented by a constant term for the calculation of fixed loads (see
p99)

Due to the reworking of the ST1 calculation node:
- old project files .STD
and .STI
are incompatible and should be regenerated (see
command READ p35),
- differences may appear between the results (improved digital precision)
Chapter
3.
LIMITS OF THE PROGRAM
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.P290)
 256 characters maximum for a filename, including directory
 128 characters maximum for a line of the data file (cf.P290)
 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.P290) 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. 290) 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.

LEXICAL DEFINITION OF THE

TYPES
4.1 - SEPARATORS
The separator, separates commands entered on one line.
4.2 - COMMENTS
The # character can insert comments into data files. Comments can be placed at the end of line after
the commands.
4.3 - KEYWORDS
These are reserved words used to describe the problem to be addressed. A list of these keywords can
be found in the description of ST1 commands.
The keywords are defined in uppercase or lowercase.
EXAMPLE
NODE or nodeare equivalent key words, but Node or NODe are unknown and will not be considered as
keywords.
4.4 - NUMERICAL VALUES

There is no distinction between integer and real type values.
Angles are defined in radians.
4.5 - CHARACTER STRINGS

Character strings should be defined between quotes ('). A quote in the chain must be doubled (").

Do not use accented characters in ST1.
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

USE
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 p35) 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 p39) 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
p38).
If the user types a carriage return in place of the project name, no backup is performed.

ERROR DETECTION
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
after running ST1 to locate the reported errors.
erreur.txt. This file is available
 n
The action number displayed on-screen or in
carried out in the phasing calculation.
erreur.txt corresponds to the nth action
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 générales) 33
COMMAND LIST
Chapter
1.
GENERAL COMMANDS
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.
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.
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' # création du file toto
LIST GEOM # écriture dans le file toto des caractéristiques
# géométriques et mécanique 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 D’UN
PROJETT p38).
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 (à 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.
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.P290) 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
p38).
If the user types a carriage return in place of the project name, no backup is performed.
ST1 - Liste des commandes (Géométrie) 40
Chapter
2.
DESCRIPTION OF GEOMETRY
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.
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.P290) 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
Y
Geometry Displacement
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
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
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.
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 à 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).
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 , or ). X Y 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
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 to make the structure stable.
X
If there is a pre-stress, just one support should be locked to or the pre-stress will have no
X
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 nodes that are already defined.
ALL. The instruction will act on
2.5 - ELASTIC SUPPORTS

The upper half-stiffness matrix of an elastic support is defined by default 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:
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 , or ). X Y Z
When the criterion of detachment is determined on this single degree of freedom, all degrees of
freedom are released.

(default
POS NEG determines the sign of the degree of freedom affected by the separation condition
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, is counted counter-clockwise.
The matrix is then defined in the local reference of the suppor; that means with an angle alpha
with the general reference of the structure.
EXAMPLE
 In PLANE option (see command OPTION p42) the instruction:

RESTRAINT 1 to 5 EL DI 1000. 2000. 0.

For the order CARA PSE
(in the case of bars on elastic ground), do not give values to reduced
shear sections (do not use the keywords SY
and ). SZ

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

For the shear calculation, not define a shear section has the following effect: the shear effect is
not taken in account. This solution is recommended rather to define huge values of Sy and Sz in
order to avoid troubles of numerical accuracy for the calculation.

For users ofST1 version 2:
In the case of phasing, the calculation of creep depends on the values VY and WY.

2.11 - EIGEN MASS (DYNAMIC)

The description of eigen masses linked to a node or to a bar can be done with the following syntax :
INSTRUCTION SIMPLE
MASS EIGEN
(NODE liste MASS (SUP) m1 … mj1)
(NODE liste MASS (SUP) DI d1 … dj1)
(BAR listeb (< MASS (SUP) DI, MASS (SUP), MASS NUL >) )
(BAR listeb (EXC (OR (X) x … (Z) z) (EX (X) x … (Z) z)) …
… MASS(SUP)<(UNI m1),(LIN m1 m2),(PARABOL m1 m2 m3)>)
END

The eigen masses can be linked to nodes. They must have dimensions homogeneous to mass
unity and not to weight unity. They are defined in this case in the global coordinate system.
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
The key word
UNI allows adding lineic uniform masses to bars.
LIN allows adding lineic masses with a linear shape to bars.
The key word PARABOL allows adding lineic masses with a parabolic shape to bars.
The masses must be described as lineic weight and, 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
defined.
SUP
allows adding masses to bars or nodes where masses have already been

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 excentrement are defined in the general axes.

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 masse 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.

means that the bars 2 and 11 have a Poisson's ratio of 0.5and a Young's modulus of 1000000.

The physical constants of the elements defined according to the above syntax cannot
change over time during a phasing (see. MAT p74 and PHASING 166) commands.

MAT
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
dam number of dynamic damping type
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 (fc28 60 MPa)
 BHP AFREM proposal of May 16, 95 (40 MPa  fc28  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).

If the physical constants of the bars do not change during phasing (see. PHASING
command p.166), 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 D’UNE DATE command p173).

The definition of the modulus of the material from the characteristic value
you specify

requires that
the unit chosen to express the module. This module can be expressed in:
Mega Pascals (MPa) keyword MPA
tons per square metre (t / m²) keyword TM2
Kilo Newtons per square metre (kN / m²) keyword KNM2
 The acceleration g is defined automatically if the unit of the modulus of the material is defined
by the user. If the unit is in TM2, or KNM2 or MPA, the acceleration g is set to 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

3.3.6 - ADVANCED PARAMETERS ON THE MATERIALS

For existing structures, it may be necessary to adapt the laws to the actual behaviour of the structure.
To change the affinity of calculating the Young's modulus or deformation of autogenous and
desiccation shrinkage or creep for the various materials (BPEL, CEB, EC2), weighting coefficients
have been introduced (see application in the appendices for each behavioural law p301):
MAT i ('Title matérial')

DESCRIPTION OF PRE-
STRESSING
4.1 - DEFINITION OF A TYPE OF PRE-STRESSING

The definition of a type of pre-stress enables the description of the features of a tensioning device and
certain cable parameters.
The definition of a type of pre-stressing is achieved using the syntax:
PREC i ('Title prestress')
SECTION Ap
TENSION sigma
E Ep ((<RG fprg, FPK fpk> R1000 ro1000)
(RECUL g) (THRESHOLD threshold)

END
with:
i type number of pre-stressing
Ap section of pre-stressing cable
sigma constraint on the tensioning (post-tension: the cylinder; pretension: final value
before bench release)
Ep modulus of pre-stressing steels
fprg, fpk guaranteed shear limits for pre-stressing steels
ro1000 guaranteed value of the relaxation loss at 1000 h in %
threshold Threshold of relaxation in hours. By default, no limit is taken in account. If the
value 0 is specified, the usual value 5.105h is taken in account. Otherwise the
specified value is taken in account.
g Value of the anchoring shrinkage (post-tension) (by default g=0)
f bend friction coefficient (rd-1) (post-tension) (by default f=0)
phi coefficient of tension loss per unit of length (m-1) (post-tension)

shape of the bilinear law of entrenching anchors (see EC2-1-1 8.10.2: alpha =
spd/sp0) (alpha is between 0 and 1 and is dimensionless) (pre-stress)

The value Ep g
refers to anchoring shrinkage ( nonzero) in instant deformation losses and
indirectly through pre-stress effects induced by distortions from different cases of stresses
applied (including shrinkage creep effect).
Coefficients fprgand ro1000 are required only if you want ST1 to calculate relaxation
losses.

By default, the pre-stress is calculated in post-tension. In the case of the pretension, the
keyword PRETENSION
is the only one to activate pre-stress calculation When you tighten a
cable allocated to this pre-stressing device, the final effort calculated after pre-stressing of the
element (after bench release) takes into account the instant loss through elastic deformation.

4.1 - DEFINITION OF A PRE-STRESSING CABLE

The geometric definition of a cable is achieved in the global coordinate system of the structure using
the following syntax:
CABLE i ('Nom du câble')
PREC j ((NOT) SIMUL n)
TENSION <OR,EX,OR EX,EX OR>
(BAR liste)
(STEP_CABLE step)
(LG_GAINE OR lg1 EX lg2)
TRACE (INTERIEUR,EXTERIEUR)
…
(X) x1 (Y) y1 ((Z) z1) (ALIGNE,SLOPE pt,GIS gi,RAYON ray)
…
END
with:
i cable number
j pre-stressing unit number (see. PREC command p89)
n number of tensioned units (by default n = 1)
list list of bars used to support the cable (by default all bars)
step discretisation step of the action of the cable on the structure (by default
step=0.25)
x, y, z coordinates of a cable crossing point (general reference)
pt slope of the cable route (radians) (general reference)
gi angle in drawing of the cable route (radians) (general reference)
ray radius of the route of the cable when passing a pole
lg1,lg2 original cladding lengths at the beginning and end of cable, useful in the case of
the pretension

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 p91).

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 EXTERIEUR
TRACE INTERIEUR
) or outside (keyword
) 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".
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

X 39 Z –0.5 SLOPE 0.5 X 39 Z –0.5 ALIGNE
X 40 Z 0 X 40 Z 0
END END
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.

The coefficients c1, c2 and c3 are defined in accordance with the position of each study section (see.
STUDY command p97) 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
p120 and EXEC LIVE_LOAD
commands
p165).

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

ST1 - List of commands (Operating Loads) 121

LIVE LOADS
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 p132, p138and p157).

Predefined loads of Eurocode (LM1, LM2, etc), are expressed in kilo-Newton (see p154).

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 p97), 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.
The definition of the profile across ((see. command DECK p125) 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 p125)
 the definition of a live_load ((see command LIVE_LOAD p132, p138 and p157)
 the running of the study(see command EXEC LIVE_LOAD p165)

8.1.2 - METHODS USED

The search for extremes in live loads depends on the live_load used (see command LIVE_LOAD
p132p138 and p157) the calculation option (see command OPTION p42) and the definition of the
apron (see command DECK p125).
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.
8.2 - DEFINITION OF THE DECK

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 p125), and the allocation of loads on these lanes are defined ((see
LIVE_LOAD command p132, p138 and p157) 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.

END
Loads A (l), a (l), etc, are applied to a width of 1.00 m without transversal weighting.
Rolling loads Bc, Bt, etc., are applied to a section without transversal weighting.

END
Live loads are applied taking into account the positioning and the transversal weighting coefficients
(e.g. for A (l) coefficients a1, a2 and Bc and Bt coefficients bt and bc of Tome. 61 Title II).
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 p125)
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 p132, p138 and p157).

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

8.5 - DEFINITION OF TYPE A (L) GENERALISED LOADS

In addition to the regulatory loads of Tome 61 Title II (see commands AL, etc, SIDEWALK p132), you
can also use ST1 to describe live loads distributed between zeros on the lines of influence, where the
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 ')
DENS
long1 dens1
…
longi densi

END
with:
i number of the type A (l) load
fx, fy, fz, multiplying coefficients of the load to obtain the component along the designated
mx, my, mz axis
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
p125 and LIVE_LOAD p132, p138 and p157)
- the width of the transversal areas if defined
liste list of coefficients to take into account depending on the number of lanes loaded
the transversal coefficients are only taken into account if the transversal areas are
defined (see commands DECK p125 and LIVE_LOAD p132, p138 and p157)
if the number of lanes exceeds the number of coefficients defined, the last
coefficient is used
(by default liste=1.00)
The keywords DIR GLO mean a definition in the global coordinate system of the structure.
The keywords DIR LOC mean a definition in the local reference of the bars.

Moreover, assuming that this is an eccentric vertical load of 1.75 m from the axis of the bars of the
apron we obtain the following breakdown:

For example, if the loaded length is 15 m, we obtain a load density of:
2.2+(1.4-2.2)*(15.-9.5)/(19.2-9.5) = 1.7464
The load that is then applied by ST1 is broken down as follows:
 a local distributed torque mx = 1.7464*1.75
 a global distributed force fz = -1.7464*1.00

In addition to the regulatory loads of Tome 61 Title II (see commands BC, BT, ..., MC120 p138), and
abnormal loads under circular letter R / EG 3 of 20th July 1983 (see commands CV_C2, CV_D2F1, …,

(by default nfile=nombre de voies chargées)
xlong length taken up by a truck (by default xlong=max(xl+impact/2) )

defined (see commands DECK p125 and LIVE_LOAD p132, p138 and p157)
liste list of coefficients to take into account depending on the number of lanes loaded.
Be careful, each coefficient is applied to all the lanes laoded (according the
fasicule 61 titre 2: the 1rst coefficient is applied for 1 lane, the 2nd coefficient for
2 lanes, etc..). thus all the lanes are loaded uniformly.
the transversal coefficients are only taken into account if the transversal areas are
defined (see command DECK p125) and are used as support for convoys (see
command LIVE_LOAD p132, p138 and p157).

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
UDL uniformly distributed load of constant density
LM1
TS tandem type rolling load with two axles
LM2 essieu single-axle load (two wheels of 200 kN each)
UDL as LM1
LM3 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 αQ .Qk, where αQ 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 αq .qk, αq being an adjustment factor.
The characteristic values of loads UDL and TS are as follows:
Tandem TS UDL
Position
Axle load Q ik (kN) qik (or qrk) (kN/m²)
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
defines three classes of traffic according to its average composition:
Traffic classes
1 accumulation of heavy traffic on lane 1 (unusual usage class)
2 for the most common traffic compositions (on the main network and motorway)
3 presence of heavy vehicles likely but in small numbers or occasional
The adjustment factors, according to the traffic class and number i for the lane are:
Traffic class αQ1 αQi , i > 1 αq1 αqi , i > 1 αqr QLM2
1 1 1 1 1.2 1.2 0,8
2 0,9 0,8 0,7 1 1 0,8

The various coefficients are defined in the parameters file ST1.par.
Finally the effects of UDL and TS loads are weighted by Ψ coefficients where the values depend on the
type of combination:
Combination UDL TS LM2
FREQUENT 0.4 0.75 0.75
STANDARD 1 1 1
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 p265.
The ST1 command parameters enabling modification of the default Eurocode loads are described
below:

The X axis is longitudinal.
The diagram shows two TS type vehicles, placed side by side; the longitudinal position of each one is

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).

8.8 - RUNNING LIVE LOADS

The study of the previously described live loads (see command LIVE_LOAD p132, p138 and p157) is
run using the following command:
EXEC LIVE_LOAD (liste)
with:
liste list of numbers of previously defined live_loads (by default all live_loads
specified will be studied)

The EXEC LIVE_LOAD command stores the results in the database.

In the instruction above, the list may be replaced by the word ALL
all defined live_loads (this is then equivalent to do not place list).

The commands detailed in this chapter apply only to users of ST1 version 2 (version with
renewable annual agreement) and will not be available with ST1 version 1 (retail
version).
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.
The definition of phasing is achieved according to the following syntax:
PHASAGE (i) ('Title phasage')
(SUITE PHASAGE liste)

STRESS <VY,VZ,WY,WZ,VYVZ,VYWZ,WYWZ>,

END
TENDRE CABLE liste (NOT) (INJECTE)
DETENDRE CABLE liste
STATE e
MODIFIER RESTRAINT liste
END PHASAGE
with:
i phasing number (by default i=1)

Phasing-specific commands are described later in this chapter.

END PHASAGE
EXEC PHASAGE 1
KEYWORD AND:
Some actions should be described using several commands. To prevent an intermediate calculation
being made, these commands can be sequenced using by the keyword AND.
EXAMPLE: ENABLE A BAR WITH ITS OWN DEAD WEIGHT
PHASAGE 1
…
ACTIVATE BAR 2
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 1
AND LOAD WEIGHT SELF 2
…
END PHASAGE
EXAMPLE: MOVE A LIST OF SUPPORTS
PHASAGE 1 'Exemple phasage' or PHASAGE 1 'Exemple phasage'
… …
MODIFIER RESTRAINT 1 NODE 2 MODIFIER RESTRAINT 1 to 3 NODE 2 to 4
AND MODIFIER RESTRAINT 2 NODE 3 AND JACK RESTRAINT 1 to 3
AND MODIFIER RESTRAINT 3 NODE 4 …
AND JACK RESTRAINT 1 to 3 END PHASAGE
END PHASAGE

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.
Ep
 p  K  b
Eij
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.
EXAMPLE : ACTIVATING A GROUP OF BARS
1 1 2 3 2
PHASAGE 1 'Activation correcte' PHASAGE 1 'Activation incorrecte'

ACTIVATE RESTRAINT 1,2 ACTIVATE RESTRAINT 2
ACTIVATE BAR 1,2 ACTIVATE BAR 2,1 ### ERREUR ###
ACTIVATE BAR 3 ACTIVATE BAR 3
END PHASAGE END PHASAGE
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
…
END PHASAGE
PHASAGE 3 'clavage des fleaux 1 et 2'
SUITE PHASAGE 1,2
…
END PHASAGE
 1
In the example above an element cannot be activated in both the phasing and in phasing as
this would lead to ambiguity about the status of the item during phasing . 3
2

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 .
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
ENV i ('Title enveloppe')
STRESSG c
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.
EXAMPLE
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
.
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
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 intermédiaire' PHASAGE 2 'phasage avec intermédiaire'

ENV 1 ENV 2
… …
LOAD LOAD BAR 1 UNI FY 1
BAR 1 UNI FY 1 STATE 5
BAR 1 UNI FY –1 LOAD BAR 1 UNI FY -1
END STATE 10
STATE 10 …
… END
END
Dans cet exemple, dans le phasage 1, l’effet de la load est nul sur l’enveloppe 1
alors que dans le phasage 2, l’effet de la load apparaît sur l’enveloppe 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
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
ACTIVATE BAR 9,12 AGE 3 MODE ABS
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 9,12
TENDRE CABLE 102,202
…
END

At the beginning of phasing the current date is days.0

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 p169).

The definition of a current date cannot be used other than in the description of phasing, i.e.
between the commands PHASAGEand END PHASAGE (see p166).

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 p120) 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 à 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
p103).
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. p120) 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 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5
The command DEACTIVATE RESTRAINT 2 has the effect of removing the support 2. The current
structure becomes:
1 12 2 3 3 4 4 5
The command DEACTIVATE BAR 3,4 has the effect of removing the bars 3 and 4. The current
structure becomes:
1 1 2 2 3 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. p120) is not changed.
9.8 - DEFINITION OF STRESSES ON THE STRUCTURE
The definition of stress within a phasing is achieved using the syntax:
LOAD
définition des sollicitations
END
or
LOAD (définition 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
…
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
…
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 2
…
TENDRE CABLE 1
…
END PHASAGE

The details on consideration of pre-stress are given in Chapters
LA PRECONTRAINTE p293 and
EFFETS INSTANTANES DE
EFFETS DIFFERES – CAS D'UN PHASAGE p298.

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 p180).
 LA PRECONTRAINTE
p293 and
EFFETS INSTANTANES DE
The details of consideration of pre-stress is given in the Chapters
EFFETS DIFFERES – CAS D'UN PHASAGE p298.
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
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.
EXAMPLE
…
DATE 125
ACTIVATE BAR 2 AGE 3 MODE ABS
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 2
STATE 1 'Etat 1'
DATE 130
ACTIVATE BAR 3 AGE 3 MODE ABS
LOAD WEIGHT SELF 3


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 définition)
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 p46). 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 2 3
The command MODIFIER RESTRAINT 1 DX DY has the effect of removing embedding of support1:
1 2 3
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 p166) will be run.

A phasing defined as the result of another phasing (see command
must be run before the originator.
SUITE PHASAGE p169)

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
all defined phasings (this is then equivalent to do not place list).

ST1 - Lists of commands (Dynamic) 186
DYNAMIC
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 2nd 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

...
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)

In general it is not necessary to study 100 modes, the firts 10 to 30 modes are often sufficients
to reach 70-80% of the total modal mass. The others eigen modes are very often for local eigen
modes (>20Hz).

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 général, 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/L3), 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

10.5 - RESPONSE OF SPECTRUM

The spectra of ground acceleration can be combined for each eigen mode either linearly, either by a
quadratic combination so called SRSS, or by the combination so called CQC, or finally linearly (LIN).

Three methods of time history analysis are available by time integration of the equations of
motion:
The method 1 is the method of integration by Newmark with average acceleration (this method
is used by default, and generaly recommanded)
The method 2 is the method of integration by Newmark with linear acceleration
The method 3 is the method of integration so called HHT Alpha described by P Paultre to take
in account a numerical damping. A coefficient alpha is needed with a value given beetween 0
and -0.3. For the value 0, this method is the method of Newmark with average acceleration.

The time step must have a value short enough for the time history analysis in order to get
acceptable results (In general, a time step must have a duration lower to a fraction of 40 times
of the shortest eigen period to take in account for the studied model).

10.11 – HISTORY UNDER IMPOSED LOAD (ST1 V2 ONLY)

A time history linear elastic with imposed load is possible if the command described in this part is
defined. It is use for instance for the dynamic study of footbridges: the structure must undergo a load
of uniform weight defined by the user. The weight is multiplied by the sign of the shape of the eigen
mode chosen in the imposed direction (direction of the action). The load is also multiplied by an
harmonic excitation varying with time: sin(w0*t).
 If no frequency f0 is specified by the user, the pulsation w0 on time is the pulsation of the chosen
eigen mode.
 If a frequency f0 is specified, the pulsation on time is w0=2.f0

10.12 - EXECUTION OF TIME HISTORY FOR AN IMPOSED LOAD (ST1 V2 ONLY)

A linear elastic time history is possible for the study of displacement of nodes, only if dynamic masses
have been already defined, if a calculation of eigen mode has been done with a sufficient number of
eigen modes (that means with the number of the eigen mode used for the imposed load) and the
dynamic parameters for a time history with imposed load. A damping of the structure must be
defined, otherwise without numerical damping the structures geopardise to be in resonance. There is
no time history of study sections. Nethertheless the study of effort and displacement is needed for
all bars at the biginning and the end of each bar for the graphic view.
The time history is fulfilled by the following comand:

CRITICAL MODE FOR LINEAR

ELASTIC BUCKLING
11.1 –CRITICAL LOADS FOR LINEAR ELASTIC BUCKLING
The results (value and shape mode) of critical loads for linear elastic buckling (Euler buckling) come
from the geometrical stiffness of the structure : the resolution of this bucking loads is based on the
same method as the resolution used to get the eigen modes by substituting the matrix of masses by the
geometrical stiffness matrix, thus the solutions of this problem is given in addition to the calculation of
eigen masses in dynamic (see dynamic bibliography in annex: Paultre).
The critical modes come from the iterative resolution of critical eigen modes  :
[K - KG(Nfix)] = c *[KG(Nvar)]
No more specific data is needed , only the data already used to described the classical stiffness matrix.
The comand STUDY(cf. Study Area) has no effect on the calculation of crical loads. As for the
dynamic part, the discretisation of the structure has a big influence on the accuracy of the results.
11.2 – FULFILLING OF CRITICAL LOADS FOR LINEAR ELASTIC BUCKLING

The calculation of linear elastic buckling loads is given by the following comand :
EXEC BUCKLING (nb) (METHOD<1,2>)>)>) (CTE <LOAD,COMB,STATE,PHASAGE i>) (VAR

<LOAD,COMB,STATE,PHASAGE j>)
avec :
nb Number of critical loads for a linear elastic buckling to calculate (by default 2
modes are calculated)

The comand EXEC BUCKLINGallow to calculate and stock the results in database.

The method 1 is the method by inverse iteration. The method 2 is the method by iteration of sub
space of the critical vectors. This method is chosen by default.

The load, combination, state or phase "i" choosen by the user defines the sollicitations of the
structures and to take in account its normal effort participation in the bars (so called the static
component) (For instance the dead loads).

The load, combination, state or phase "j" choosen by the user defines the sollicitations of the
structures and to take in account its normal effort participation in the bars (so called the
variable component) (For instance a moving load modelised bay a static load).
ST1 - Lists of commands (Critical Loads) 203

The static or variable loads must have been calculated beffore the calculation of the bukling
modes.
Instead of studying [K] x = Nc* [KG(N=1)]x, ST1 study [K - KG(Ni)]x = c *[KG(Nj)]x

If the user doesn't want to preload the structure, it can be applied a load number 0 for the static
component. If a load 0 is used for the variable component, ST1 takes the decision to have a
uniform normal effort in the bars.

It is possible to take in account the effect of traction stiffening under the applied loads(Ni,Nj)
(be carefull because it can give an execessive stiffness to the structure in the tension members
and thus can induce numerical difficulties to get the critical loads). You need to modifie the
corresponding value in the parameter file st1.par. By default the traction effect is not used.
EXAMPLE: CALCULATION OF THE FIRST CRITICAL MODE OF BUCKLING
EXEC BUCKLING 1 VAR LOAD 1
In this example, the variable component to amplify to get the critical load is based on the load 1.

liste1… list of loads, etc., envelopes with results in the database
coef1… Multiplier coefficients (by default coef=1.)

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. An envelope contains two times more results than a load case.

The envelope of an history is the envelope of the effects got for all the time steps of an
acceleorogram.


A concomitance may be made requested on both the support reactions and the study sections.
12.3 - CONCOMITANCES MANAGEMENT
12.3.1 - WHERE A CONCOMITANT COMPONENT IS DECLARED

For each support and each study section of a bar, the envelope is run on the designated component.
Other results are then concomitant.

12.3.2 - IF NO COMPONENT IS DECLARED

The type of concomitance of the envelope is the same as for the envelopes and live_loads it contains.
If the envelope does not contain live_loads or envelopes, or even an envelope without concomitance,
the study will be without concomitance.
EXAMPLE: ENVELOPE CONTAINING NO ENVELOPE OR LIVE_LOAD

ST1 - List of commands (Graphics commands) 216
GRAPHICS COMMANDS
15.1 - INITIALIZATION OF GRAPHICS MODE

When the user is under the prompt > in console mode, the switchover to interactive design achieved
using the following syntax:
DESS
The user is presented in graphical input mode and can use all the commands in the graphics module
and the commands TITLE and READ in console mode.

The command READ (see p35) can run a file containing ready prepared drawing instructions.
Entering one or more commands can be achieved in the text line at the bottom of the graphics window.
At the end of input, you can run by hitting the <ENTREE> key on the keyboard.
To enter several commands on this line, they should be separated by a semicolon.
To the right of the input line is a button that displays a list of previously written commands. Selecting
one of these copies the command on the line. It can be run again by pressing <ENTREE> on the
keyboard.
The selection of one of the buttons in the top left of the graphic display (Print, Save, Cls, etc.) gives
the same result as typing the appropriate command, followed by the <ENTREE>key.
15.2 - EXITING GRAPHICS MODE

Exiting from graphics mode is achieved using the following command:
RETURN
or by selecting the "Back to calculation mode" in the "File" menu.
Selecting the close button to the left of the "File" menu is equivalent to entering the command QUIT
(see p39) in the text line, ST1 asks for a project name in the text line for a possible backup.

Hitting the <ENTREE> key without entering a name causes exit from ST1 without backup.
15.3 - GRAPHIC SCREEN DRIVER CHANGE

The driver for the graphic screen can be changed using the command:
ECRAN nom
with:
nom name of the graphics driver
The drivers used are:
 ega
 vga

The type of graphic display is initialised in the parameters file (see. p290) which enables a
default initialization. It can, however, be redefined in the data file.
15.4 - PLOTTER CHANGE

The plotter can be changed by running the following command:
TRA nom (COULEUR,MONOCHROME)
with:
nom plotter driver name
The drivers used are:
 post Postscript format A4 landscape
 postp Postscript format A4 portrait
 post3 Postscript format A3 landscape
 post3p Postscript format A3 portrait
 dxf DXF standard compliant data exchange
 calc Calcomp electrostatic plotter

The drivers above are monochrome by default.
EXAMPLE: POSTSCRIPT PLOTTER A3 COLOUR

TRA post3 COULEUR

The paper drawing is obtained from the backup of a drawing on screen (see command
p218).
SAUV

The type of plotter is initialised in the parameters file (see 290P) which enables default
initialisation. It can, however, be redefined in the data file.
15.5 - PRINTING THE DRAWING DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN

The drawing on the screen can be sent to any printer on the list of Windows printers installed by using
the Fichier menu, Impression..... The command thus generated in the graphics input box is:
PRINT 'boite'
15.6 - PRINT PREVIEW ON TRACER

The preview of the design obtained from the current plot can be obtained using the command:
TRA
To return to full-screen viewing use the command:
ECRAN
15.7 -SAVING THE DRAWING ON THE SCREEN

The drawing on the screen can be saved on file for use outside ST1. A buffer file is generated using
the command:
SAUV
The content and the file name generated depends on the type of current plotter (see command TRA
p217).
File generated:
pos.st1 Printer using the POSTSCRIPT standard
dxf.st1 Data exchange using DXF standard

During a single session, using multiple graphics drivers results in the generation of a buffer file
per plotter type.
EXAMPLES:
Using a postscript A4 driver and a postscript A3 driver will only generate one file
pos.st1
Using a postscript driver and a dxf driver generates two files, pos.st1 and
dxf.st1
SEQUENCE OF COMMANDS TO BE PERFORMED TO SAVE A DRAWING FILE ON SCREEN INTO A FILE
 Choose a file format (menu Fichier, command Langage pour sauvegarde dessin
sur file)
 Choose the type of drawing to be created on screen (Geom, Effort, ...)
 Enter the name of the backup file, as ST1 does not add a default extension, it is imperative to
fill in the extension for the file format defined previously ( .DXF or .PS) in the filename
(menu Fichier, command Nom du file de sauvegarde des ecrans :...:..., the
command TRA 'nomfichier.ext' is generated in the graphics input zone at the bottom of
the screen)
 type SAUV in the text box and confirm
 Type RET in the entry box to exit graphics mode

It is possible to string multiple backups in a row.
As long as the file format is not redefined, ST1 uses the current one.
15.8 - CLEAR THE SCREEN

Clearing the screen in graphics mode is achieved using the command:
CLS
15.9 - ANGLE (SPATIAL AND GRILL OPTIONS)

Changing the angle of the drawing on the screen is achieved using the following syntaxes:
VUE (X ux) (Y uy) (Z uz)
or
VUE ux uy uz
with:
ux, uy, uz directing coefficients along the axes X, Y, Z of the view direction
(by default ux= uy = uz = 1)
EXAMPLE: VIEW ALONG THE Z DIRECTION
… or …
VUE 0 0 1 VUE Z 1
… …

This command is not active for the PLANE
option (see command OPTION
p42).
 ux uy
The coefficients , , and
will automatically take
uz
must represent a non-zero vector. Given
ux=uy=uz=1
.
ux=uy=uz=0, ST1
15.10 - ZOOM
Enlargement of a drawing is achieved using the following syntax:
ZOOM cf (xc yc)
with:
see directing coefficients along the axes X, Y, Z of the view direction
xc, yc directing coefficients along the axes X, Y, Z of the view direction
EXAMPLE: ENLARGEMENT
ZOOM 2
Means that the drawing on the screen is enlarged deux times in relation to the screen.
EXAMPLE: REDUCTION
ZOOM .5 .2 .3
Means the drawing is reduced by a factor 0.5 in relation to the coordinate point 0.2, 0.3 on the
screen.

SELEC NODE liste
15.11.3 - SELECTION OF THE WHOLE STRUCTURE

SELEC ALL
EXAMPLES
SELEC BAR 1 to 10 or SELEC 1 to 10

Means that after this command, the graphic commands will only take bars 1 to 10 into account.
SELEC ALL
Means that the graphic commands will affect the entire structure. This command is only useful if you
want to go back to the whole structure after studying a part of it.

By default the entire structure is selected.
15.12 - CENTRING THE DRAWING SHOWN ON THE SCREEN

Centring of the drawing on the screen is achieved using to the following syntaxes:
15.12.1 - CENTRING THE WHOLE DRAWING

CENTR
15.12.2 - CENTRING THE STRUCTURE SELECTED BY THE LAST USE OF THE SELEC

CENTR GEOM
This centring allows you to draw the selected structure so that it fills the entire screen.
15.12.3 - CENTRING STRAINS, DISPLACEMENTS OR STRESSES

CENTR < EFFORT <N,TY … MZ>,
DEPLA (DX,DY,DZ,RX,RY,RZ),
STRESS <VY … WZ>,
STRESSG
PRESS <PX,PY,PZ,MX> >
(MAX xmax)
This centring enables you to re-draw strains, displacements or stresses in such a way that the
maximum size of the drawing does not exceed xmax cm on the screen. The scale of strains,
displacements or stresses will be reset to the value thus defined. By default, the maximum is equal to
what it was before.

On the first use, the value is set in the parameters file (see p290).
EXAMPLE: RE-CENTRING A DRAWING

ST1 - List of commands (Examples) 232
PSEUDO-PROGRAMMING
17.1 - PRESENTATION
The basic structural calculator instructions can be supplemented by PSEUDO-PROGRAMMATION
instructions in order to generate certain groups of actions in an automatic manner, or to retrieve a
parameterised file that might be reused.
The numerical values of the data file can then be replaced by variables or arithmetic expressions, the
result of which will be used as a numeric value.
EXAMPLE:
NODE 1 -0.416147 1.909297 is equivalent to NODE 1 cos(2) 1+sin(2)

The instructions can be repeated automatically using a repeat loop.
EXAMPLE:
ACTIVATE RESTRAINT 1 to 10 is equivalent to FOR i=1 to 10 <<ACTIVATE RESTRAINT i>>

17.2 - LEXICAL TYPES-SPECIFIC TO PSEUDO-PROGRAMMING
17.2.1 - VARIABLES
The numerical values can be stored in memory in the form of variables. Assigning a numerical value
to a variable is done using the sign =.
EXAMPLE:
x1=12. ; i=11 ; …
The variable x1 is set to 12., and variable i is set to 11.
Once initialized, the variables can be used in place of numerical values.
EXAMPLE:
NODE 1 12 3 is equivalent to x1=12 ; NODE 1 x1 3

The initialisation of a variable sets its type. This cannot be changed later (in particular, the
variable x1
of the above example can no longer be used for a list name).

The name of a variable should not match a keyword or a list previously defined.
17.2.2 - NAMED LISTS

The numerical lists can be stored in memory in the form of named lists. Assigning a name to a list is
achieved using the sign =.
EXAMPLE:
ls1=1,2,5 to 8 ; ls2=1 to 3,x1,4,i
Once initialized, the named lists can be used in place of explicit lists.
EXAMPLE:
NODE 1 to 3 12 3 is equivalent to ls1=1 to 3 ; NODE ls1 12 3

The lists can contain other named lists in their definition. The list will thus contain the defined values
of the inserted list, at the time of assignment.
EXAMPLES
ls1=1 to 3 ; ls2=ls1,4,6 is equivalent to ls1=1 to 3 ; ls2=1 to 3,4,6

ls1=1 to 3 ; ls1=ls1,4,6 is equivalent to ls1=1 to 3,4,6
ls1=1 to 3 ; ls2=ls1,4,6 ; ls1=2 is equivalent to ls1=2 ; ls2=1 to 3,4,6
Initializing an empty list is achieved by assigning the empty list vide to this list (vide is a specific
list initialised by ST1).
EXAMPLE:
ls1=vide ; for j=1 to 5 << ls1=ls1,j >> is equivalent to ls1=1 to 5
 The initialisation of a named list sets its type. This cannot be changed later (in particular, the
list 1s1 of the above example can no longer be used for a variable).
EXAMPLE:
ls1=1 to 5 impossible to write afterwards ls1=10

The name of a variable should not match a keyword or a variable previously defined.
17.2.3 - INDEXED TABLES OF VARIABLES

The numerical values can be stored in memory in the form of indexed tables of variables. The creation
of an indexed table is achieved using the command:
DIM nom(n)
with:
nom name of indexed table
n dimension of the table
EXAMPLE:
The instruction:
DIM tx1(100)
creates an indexed table of variables txt1 containing 100 variables.
The initialisation and use of indexed variables is carried out in the same way as for non-indexed
variables (see above).
EXAMPLE:
DIM tx1(10)
NODE 1 12 3 is equivalent to tx1(1)=12 ; NODE 1 tx1(1) 3

The name of a variable table should not correspond to the name of a mathematical function.

Writing an indexed variable should not contain blank spaces.
17.3 - MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS

Throughout the data file, the numerical values can be replaced by mathematical expressions.
17.3.1 - ARITHMETIC OPERATORS

The following usual arithmetic operations can be used in the data file:
addition +
soustraction -
multiplication *
division /
puissance **
EXAMPLE:
NODE 1 2+4*1 10 is equivalent to NODE 1 6 10
17.3.2 - MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS

The following usual mathematical functions can be used in the data file:
valeur absolue abs(x1)
partie entière int(x1)
racine carrée sqrt(x1)
fonction sinus sin(x1)
fonction cosinus cos(x1)
fonction tangente tan(x1)
fonction arcsinus asin(x1)
fonction arccosinus acos(x1)
fonction arctangente atan(x1)
fonction exponentielle exp(x1)
fonction logarithme népérien log(x1)
fonction sinus hyperbolique sinh(x1)
fonction cosinus hyperbolique cosh(x1)
fonction tangente hyperbolique tanh(x1)
17.3.3 - SYNTAX
The mathematical expressions are written according to the usual syntax of programming languages.
EXAMPLE:
All these expressions are equivalent:

1+2+3
1+2*(2-1)+3
1+(2*(2-1))+3
1+2*3**2-13
1+2*(3**2)-13
cos(0)+2+3

A mathematical formula does not contain blank spaces.
EXAMPLE:
The expression:
1+2 +3
represents two numerical values.
17.4 - INSTRUCTION REPEAT COMMAND

One or more instructions in the data file can be automatically repeated using the following command:
FOR i=liste << … instructions … >>
or
FOR i=liste
<<
…
instructions
…
>>
Repeat commands can be nested inside each other.

The maximum number of nestings is given in the parameters file (see p290).
EXAMPLE:
k=0
FOR i=1 to 1O
<<
FOR j=1 to 5
<<
k=k+1 ; NODE k i j
>>
>>

Output the loop, the loop index is equal to the last value in the loop control list.

If the value of a loop index is changed inside the loop, it will be reset at the next iteration, and
the running of the loop will not be affected.

The running of a loop FOR
can be modified using the instruction

17.5.1 - LOGICAL EXPRESSIONS

Logical expressions include operators for comparing numeric values and possibly logical operators.
OPERATORS TO COMPARE NUMERIC VALUES
The following operators can be used in the data file:

égal == ou =
différent /=
strictement supérieur >
strictement inférieur <
supérieur ou égal >=
inférieur ou égal <=
EXAMPLE:
IF(i==1) is equivalent to IF(i=1)
LOGICAL OPERATORS
The following operators can be used in the data file:

NOT
AND
OR_ELSE
The logical expressions are written following the syntax of programming language GENFOR.
EXAMPLES
All these logical expressions are equivalent:

IF(a1==2 AND a1>2 OR_ELSE a2<3)
IF((a1==2 AND a1>2) OR_ELSE a2<3)
IF(a1>=2 OR_ELSE a2<3)
IF(NOT a1<2 OR_ELSE a2<3)
IF(NOT (a1<2 AND a2>=3))

Logical expressions can only be used in the instruction IF(…).
17.5.2 - DISCONNECTION ON A SIMPLE INSTRUCTION

In the event where conditional disconnection only concerns an instruction, the user has the option to
put quotes <<>> or not.
EXAMPLE:
The following instructions are equivalent:

IF(i==j) NODE i 12. 11.
IF(i==j) << NODE i 12. 11. >>

Simple instructions are those instructions that do not have an end of line (or separator ).
:
EXAMPLE
;

IF(i==j) IF(k==11) NODE i 12 11 ; IFNOT READ 'fichier1'
IF(i==j) << IF(k==11) NODE i 12 11 >> ; IFNOT READ 'fichier1'

The instruction
:
EXAMPLE
FOR is seen as a simple instruction if it is written on one line.

IF(i==j) FOR k=1 to 10 << jj=jj+1 ; NODE jj k+1 k*4 >>
IF(i==j) << FOR k=1 to 10 << jj=jj+1 ; NODE jj k+1 k*4 >> >>
17.5.3 - DISCONNECTION OF A BLOCK OF INSTRUCTIONS

If conditional disconnection involves several instructions it is mandatory to put quotes <<>>.
EXAMPLE:
The following instructions:

IF(i==j) << READ 'fichier1' ; FOR i=1 to 10 << NODE i xx(i) yy(i) >> >>
IFNOT << jj = jj+1 ; FOR i=1 to 3 << NODE jj xx(i)**2 yy(i)**2 >> >>
are equivalent to:
IF(i==j)
<<
READ 'fichier1'
FOR i=1 to 10
<<
NODE i xx(i) yy(i)
>>
>>
IFNOT
<<
jj = jj+1
FOR i=1 to 3
<<
NODE jj xx(i)**2 yy(i)**2
>>
>>
17.6 - CHANGES IN THE PERFORMANCE OF FOR LOOPS

17.6.1 - PASS INSTRUCTION
The final instructions contained in a FOR can be ignored using the instruction:
PASSER
EXAMPLE:
The instructions are equivalent to

FOR i=1 to 10 FOR i=1 to 10
<< <<
… …
instructions instructions
… …
IF(i==7) PASSER IF(i/=7)
… <<
instructions …
… instructions
>> …
>>
>>
17.6.2 - BREAK INSTRUCTION
The running of a FOR loop can be interrupted using the instruction:
BRISER
EXAMPLE:
The instructions are equivalent to

FOR i=1 to 10 FOR i=1 to 5
<< <<
… …
instructions instructions
… …
IF(i==5) BRISER IF(i<5)
… <<
instructions …
… instructions
>> …
>>
>>

The loop index retains its value at the moment of BRISER.
17.7 - RECOVERY OF CALCULATION RESULTS IN A VARIABLE

The calculation results can be retrieved into variables so that they can be directly exploited in the
remainder of the data file.
This recovery is achieved using the GET instruction (see details below) in a specific type variables
buffer prefixed with the character $.
EXAMPLE: DISABLING SUPPORT 2 IF THE FY REACTION OF COMBINATION 10 IS NEGATIVE (FLAT
OPTION)
…
GET REAC RESTRAINT 2 COMB 10
IF($fy<0) DEACTIVATE RESTRAINT 2
…
The GET instruction above assigns the values of the reaction of the support 2 in the variables $FX,
$FY, $MZ.
EXAMPLE: WEIGHTING IN COMBINATION 122 OF LOADING RESULTS 12, SO THAT THE STRESS VYVZ
IN SECTION 1 OF BAR 13 IS EQUAL TO 35 MPA (SPATIAL OPTION)
…
GET STRESS BAR 13 SEC 1 LOAD 12

instruction triggers display of an error message and
(in case of error $ERR=1otherwise $ERR=0).).

Use of the GET
instruction overwrites the contents of the variables buffer in use. In case the
user wishes to retain certain values, they should be stored in other variables.
EXAMPLE:
GET DEPLA NODE 1 LOAD 2
toto=$dx

18.2 - FLAT STRUCTURE - CALCULATION OF A CLOSED FRAME UNDER LIVE

LOADS
In this example we are studying a closed frame solicited by Road A (l), Bc and Bt live loads

The structure is modelled over a width of 1.00 m. Operating expenses are weighted by
coefficients to enable the passage of the real structure to the calculation mock-up (the
calculation of these coefficients is not done by ST1 - see M. Guyon's theory).

The study of live loads involves the calculation of a line of influence for each section, and every
stress studied. This can lead to a relatively long calculation time.

CALCULATION PRINCIPLES
B1 - INSTANT EFFECTS OF PRE-STRESSING

The line drawing of a pre-stressing cable tensioning is shown by cubic sections parameterised by the
curved abscissa of the cable. This line is discretised following a variable pitch depending on the curve
of the cable. This discretisation leads to a broken line which is used to build a structural load
equivalent to the effect of pre-stressing reinforcement. This method is known as the external method.
B1.1 - STRESSES IN THE REINFORCEMENTS ON TENSIONING

Stresses in the prestressing steel are measured on tensioning taking into account the following
instantaneous losses:
 voltage loss due to friction on the reinforcement
 tension losses at anchorage
 tension losses by non-simultaneous tensioning (case of phasing)
B1.1.1 - TENSION LOSS DUE TO FRICTION ON THE REINFORCEMENT
The tensionp0 of a prestressing reinforcement at the curved line abscissa s when it is placed in tension
is determined by the formula:
 p 0 ( s)   pa  e f   s
with:
pa tension at the nearest active anchor
e base of natural logarithms
S curved line distance from the nearest active anchor section
 total angular deviation of the cable over distance s
 friction coefficient curve (rd-1) BPEL notion
 coefficient of tension drop per unit length (m -1) BPEL Notion
 friction coefficient curve (rd-1) Eurocode notion
k coefficient of tension drop per unit length (m -1)
Eurocode Notion (NB:  k=)
B1.1.2 - TENSION LOSSES AT ANCHORAGE
The shift of the reinforcement in relation to its anchor results in a loss of tension which is evaluated as
follows.
We determine the extreme abscissa s1 propagating the effect of withdrawal at an anchorage using the
formula:
s1
1
   p 0  s    p  s1   e
 f   s1  s    s1  s 
g  ds
Ep 0
from the above equation we deduce the loss of pre-stress for any section between the anchor and
section s1:
 f  ( s1  s )   s1  s 
 ( s)   p 0 ( s)   p ( s1 )  e
with:
g anchor input (value depending on the pre-stress device)
Ep modulus of elasticity of pre-stressing steel
p0(s) stress in the reinforcement before losses by anchoring withdrawal

p(s1) stress in the reinforcement of section s1 after losses by anchoring
withdrawal

For a short cable with two active anchors, it may happen that the areas of propagation of the
anchoring withdrawal effect overlap. In this case, the order in which the anchors are released
intervenes in the value of the loss of pre-stress (see command CABLE p117).

tension avant recul d'ancrage tension avant recul d'ancrage
tension après recul d'ancrage tension après recul d'ancrage
Left anchoring released 1st Right anchoring Left anchoring Right anchoring released 2nd
Case of a short cable stretched at both ends
B1.1.3 - TENSION LOSSES BY NON-SIMULTANEOUS TENSIONING (CASE OF PHASING)

Tension losses by non-simultaneous tensioning are evaluated from the calculation of the deformation
of the elements during tensioning (see below).
B1.2 - EFFECT OF DEFORMATIONS ON THE PRE-STRESSING ELEMENTS (CASE OF

PHASING)
The deformation of a bar containing pre-stressing reinforcements causes a variation in the tensions of
the reinforcements attached to it.
For each cable section ST1 calculates:
 the deformation P of the element at the cable's centre of gravity
 the variation of tension in the cable by the formula:
 p  E p   p
 External loading due to variation in tension in the cable
B2 - DELAYED EFFECTS - CASE OF LOADING

Within a load (see command LOAD p103) the delayed effects can only be taken into account in a
simplified manner. To incorporate these effects more accurately you need to use phasing (see
command PHASAGE p166).
B2.1 - CONSIDERATION OF DELAYED EFFECTS IN MATERIALS

The inclusion of delayed deformations in materials (shrinkage, creep) can be achieved by a distributed
deformation type load (see command DEFOR p115).
B2.2 - CONSIDERATION OF DELAYED EFFECTS IN PRE-STRESSING REINFORCEMENTS

Taking into account deferred losses in the pre-stressing reinforcements is achieved by means of
simplified rules depending on the rules used as shown below.
LOSS OF PRE-STRESS DUE TO BPEL91 SHRINKAGE
The loss of pre-stress due to shrinkage is evaluated (see Chap BPEL91. 3.3,21) using the formula:
 r  E p . r

LOSS OF PRE-STRESS DUE TO RELAXATION OF BPEL91 STEEL

For a TBR reinforcement,   50 MPa about 4% of instantaneous tension.

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
p74), the fourth depends on the type of pre-stress device used (see command PREC p89).
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 )
 (t )    T (t )   r (t )   f (t )
E
with:
E instantaneous modulus of elasticity of the material
T(t) deformation of thermal origin
r(t) deformation due to shrinkage
(t) deformation due to creep
Developments in time of r(t) and T(t) are assumed to be known, independent of phenomena of elastic
deformation and creep.
B3.1.1 - DEFORMATION OF THERMAL ORIGIN
The T (t) function is defined by the user using thermal loads (see command TEMP p112).
B3.1.2 - DEFORMATION DUE TO SHRINKAGE
The r(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.
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
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 p315).
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.
