Topic: Intentionally damaging prestressed tendons

Hello everyone,

I apologize if this topic has been asked before, but I did not find an answer.

I'm currently researching the possibilities of replacing corrosion damaged prestressed tendons, and I'm having trouble while damaging the existing tendons.

How should I approach this issue? I already tried simply splitting the reinforcement lines and switching the material from bar with bond parameter Bar End: Fixed BOTH to Fixed NONE, but it didn't make a difference in simulation.

I'd really apreciate any kind of help, as I'm fairly new to using GiD Atena.


Thanks in advance,

Chassan Zin
