Did someone have a similar warning like this one?
Hello,
the warning means, that the determined area of the equivalent hollow section Ak according to Bredt is probably not correct. For polygonal solid cross sections the area Ak is determined using the reinforcement definitions. In order to determine Ak the item TORS has to be set to ACTI for specific reinforcement definitions (or in the Cross Section Editor ‘Torsional contribution’ with ACTI fully active). To check the area Ak SOFiSTiK recommended to use the program RESULTS with a graphical representation of the cross section for the ‘Torsional equivalent area (Bredt)’.
The determined area Ak can explicitly be overwritten with at record SV item AK (or in the Cross Section Editor at Cross Section Properties in the tab Additional Properties).
With kind regards
