5. Improvement on Italian UNI code concrete material DB<br />
Upgrade Contents<br />
• In the concrete material DB as per Italian UNI code, Rck10, Rck15 & Rck20 have been added.<br />

cylindrical strength.<br />
Effects & Usage<br />
• When the user opens a model file which is created in the old version, design strength will not be updated. However when<br />
the user opens the ‘Material Data’ dialog or ‘Modify Concrete Materials’ dialog and changes the material properties of UNI<br />
code, the design strength of all the UNI code assigned elements in the model file will be updated correct design strength.<br />

• For the concrete cable-stayed bridge, optimal cable forces that<br />
satisfy the specific constraints of a structure can be determined<br />
reflecting the creep and shrinkage effects. Program automatically<br />
iterates Unknown Load Factor analysis for the construction-stage<br />
model with the creep and shrinkage effects and finds the optimal<br />
cable forces.
