III/ Calculation of Forces between Aluminium Bars of a same Phase

F2/L = F2/L(1,i) + F2/L(1,2) + ... + F2/L(1,i) + ...

i value from 2 to n
F2/L(1,i) = 2e-7 * k2(1,i) * (coeffcrete*Icc/n)² / d(1,i)
d(1,i) dist. Between bar one and i
Dwight2 (1,i) ratios depends on ratios b/a et d/a
d(1,2)= 12 mm 0
Dwight2 (1,2)= 0.00
d(1,3)= 24 0
Dwight2 (1,3)= 0.00
d(1,4)= 36 mm 0
Dwight2 (1,4)= 0.00
d(1,5)= 48 mm 0
Dwight2 (1,5)= 0.00

F2/L = 0 N/m

IV/ Calculation of the Distance between Supports according to Constraint on Aluminium bars (Aluminium Mechanical Resistance Criteria)

d²Al=q*Rp02/ [ b1*( F1/L ) / 8*Z + b2*( F2/L ) / 8*Z0 ]

b1,b2 define the liaison between bars and supports ()

Z0= b*a²/6 = 6.00E-07 m3
Z=n*Z0= 6.00E-07 m3
J= 1.500E+03 mm4
dAl= 479 mm

V/ Calculation of the Distance between Supports according to Constraint on Support (Support Mechanical Resistance Criteria)

dsup= Rms*Ss/(F1/L)

dsup= 13686 mm
