I am curious as to how midas is handling this because in all instances I have found in AASHTO a modulus of elasticity of concrete at transfer or time of load application, Eci, must be used. Hand calculations based on AASHTO simplified equation produces a value for stress in tendons after elastic shortening of 197.144 ksi This difference appears to be rather large and leads to vast differences in results. For an initial jacking force applied at 1 end of 202.5 ksi midas Civil Reports stress in tendons after instantaneous loss (losses due to elastic shortening) as 191.6538 ksi. When I look at the values in column A I cannot match these with hand calculations based on AASHTO(also attached). I have attached my file here which I created based on attempting to follow along with the attached tutorial in order to ensure my modelling is being done properly however the example fails to go in depth about the results (it would also be helpful to continue along with this example however cover the results and design features much further in depth). I am unable to open the file you provided because I am currently working using Midas Civil 2017.

I have looked through the manual but it does not provide any sort of equations or detailed information as to what the program is actually calculating behind the scenes.
What I am more concerned about is learning exactly how this “Stress (After immediate Loss) A” is calculated (and any other of the losses calculations for that matter). _ Question 2: T hank you for this explanation, it has been helpful to explain the difference in the check points. One way is to fine divide the elements, so that both the values match. In the Loss table only at I & J end is provided, where as in tendon stress check, stresses are arrived at all the five points for each element and tabulated and hence accordingly the variation between both the tables. If the maximum stress point does not fall within the 5 points ( i, 1/4,1/2,3/4,j ) of the elements, you can note the difference between the values in Loss table and stress table. This is mainly attributed to the, points in which midas gives output results. You may note that these stresses do not exactly match. Point 1 refers to FDL1 i.e the stress at tendons at anchorage Point 2, is little tricky. I have attached a model file, in which I would refer how these values are derived for tendon stress check. Answer1 : If you may refer the help menu, following is stated.
I was hoping you could point me in the direction of someone who has some expertise here who could help clear this up for me.
Specifically, because the program doesn’t show how it has calculated the losses in the prestressing strands explicitly I am having trouble determining exactly how the program is coming up with the stress in the tendons (FDL1, FLL1). Question1 : I have a some questions I would like to ask.
