Decompression check for quad elements

Hello,

I am working on a prestressed concrete slab modeled with QUAD/area elements in SOFiSTiK 2027.I need to perform the decompression check according to EN 1992, but I am not sure how to perform this verification for area elements.

Please look into example “csm32_slab_design.dat” (in Teddy under "File - Examples - csm - english - design) and calculate all. Then open file “csm32_slab_design_desi.dat” and look for “DECO” => you will find some helpful hints.

Best Regards,
Jost
