# Midas Civil PSC and Prestress Loss Analysis
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
Midas Civil PSC and prestress loss analysis is the prestressed concrete workflow for tendon force application and loss evaluation in bridge/civil member models.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
The manual covers prestress loading and losses from anchorage slip, tendon-sheath friction, elastic deformation of concrete, relaxation, and time-dependent concrete behavior. Relaxation models include Magura and CEB-FIP style references. The PSC workflow is tightly coupled to construction stages because tendon stressing, section age, creep, shrinkage, and prestress losses evolve over time.
|
|
|
|
## Solver Development Notes
|
|
|
|
- Tendon geometry and eccentricity must be converted to equivalent nodal/member actions consistently.
|
|
- Loss calculations need staged state: jack force, anchorage conditions, friction path, concrete elastic shortening, creep, shrinkage, and relaxation.
|
|
- Result comparison should include tendon force, member force, stress, camber/deflection, and reaction histories.
|
|
- PSC tests should isolate immediate losses before combining them with long-term losses.
|
|
|
|
## Connections

|
|
|
- [[Beam and Frame Finite Elements]] supplies the member-analysis base.
|
|
- [[Midas Civil Construction Stage and Time-Dependent Analysis]] supplies the stage/time dependence.
|
|
- [[Midas FEA Embedded Reinforcement Modeling]] provides a detail-FE prestress modeling counterpart.
