Results of Load Combinations

The results of load combinations are presented in a window with a set of tables where the most interesting values of each scenario are grouped. This window can be resized with the mouse if needed. Load Cases In this window, we see a series of buttons whose use is obvious: Exit, to leave this window HTML, to…

Load Combination

WinTess is a program for calculating and non-linear analysis. The meaning of this is explained in the blog: Non-linear Analysis. This implies that when combining different types of loads, we can not add the results of each type (hypothesis of load), as we do in the calculation and analysis of other types of structures: steel, concrete, wood,…

Safety Factors and Combinations

The WinTess software checks if a structure properly supports the loads applied using the “Ratio” concept. The ratio is a numerical value indicating how close we are or exceed load carrying capacity considering the safety factor of any part of the structure. The value “1” is the maximum limit. If we exceed this value, we…
