Member characteristic, construction and fabrication properties

The following table lists the available permutations of characteristic, construction and fabrication for each material type.

 
Material Characteristic Construction Fabrication Notes
Concrete Beam Concrete beam Cast-in-place  
Post tensioned Not designed
Precast Not designed
Coupling beam Cast-in-place

Coupling beams are the only beams considered by the Assisted core function.

If you set the Construction as a Coupling beam when part of a core, you have made an engineering decision that you are satisfied the section is sufficiently stiff to provide rigid section behavior - Tekla Structural Designer does not check for this.
