How to define and modify new concrete member geometry in Concrete to Concrete module

Summary

Defining the geometry of the new concrete member ensures that PROFIS Engineering correctly models the dimensions and structural characteristics of the added concrete.

Prerequisites

Make sure you are logged in to your PROFIS Engineering account and have opened the Concrete to concrete module. If you need help accessing the module, click here for step‑by‑step instructions.

Step-by-step instructions

Open the New concrete tab
In your Concrete to concrete design workspace, navigate to the New concrete tab on the left-hand side of the screen.

Note that for the Shear Doweling application, the geomtry and other relevant input are found under the concrete member tab.

Input concrete geometry
Under New concrete geometry, enter the width and height of the new concrete member.
Rotate 3D model (Optional)
Under 3D Model rotation, use the rotation controls to turn the 3D model.
Each click rotates the model by 90 degrees.
Input calculation data for shear interface
Under Calculation data, the Default assumptions setting is enabled by default.

Disable Default assumptions to manually enter values for: Area of concrete shear interface, Area of steel in shear interface and Permanent net compression.

Alternatively, disable Default assumptions and enable Use full cross-section to auto populate value these values assuming contribution of full cross-section.
Input offset distance
Under Offset distance, specify the Additional offset distance required for your design. Additional offset distance is only applied to splice lengths and to development lengths
