Cumulative Angle
Cumulative Angle here refers to the angle in radian through which the tangent to the cable profile has turned between any two points under consideration.
Symbol: a
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Prestress Force at a Distance
Prestress Force at a Distance refers to the force on prestressed section at a distance x from stretching end.
Symbol: Px
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
End Prestress Force
End Prestress Force refers to the applied prestressing force at the stretching end of tendon.
