struct.cable.grout.confining

Syntax

f = struct.cable.grout.confining(p,iend)

Get the confining stress acting on the grout at end iend ∈ {1, 2}. Negative value indicates compression. The stress acts in a plane perpendicular to the cable axis; effective confining stress is the average of the principal values in this plane.

Returns:

f - stress in grout

Arguments:

p - pointer to a cable element

iend - end number of the element, iend ∈ {1, 2}.
