Finite Element Analysis of post-Tensioned slabs
Authors/Creators
Description
This code implements Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for post-tensioned concrete slabs, as detailed in [1] and [2]. The user specifies the slab's geometry, boundary conditions, cable layout, as well as the material and loading properties. The software computes the structural response, including deflections and stress distribution, and outputs a vector of nodal balance forces. Main file is FEAPTslab.m
