Tolerance of rectilinearity |
The calculation of the effective width of composite beams is only performed if they lie within the tolerance on rectilinearity adjusted here. The default tolerance is 15 degrees. At greater angles, you will be prompted to type the effective width manually. |
| Update effective width prior to design check |
Allows you to determine the effective width each time auto or check design is run. Note: Unless this
box is selected, you will be unable to manually override the
effective width on the Floor construction and Natural
frequency pages of the beam properties.
