6.1.3 Shear Retention

DIANA offers criteria for full and constant shear retention. See §18.1.2 for background theory.

Full shear retention (syntax)

$\begin{figure}\centering \begin{tabbing} \texttt{'MATERI'} \\ [-1.0ex] \rule{14... ...xtsf{\tiny {80}}}\\ * \>\>\texttt{TAUCRI}\>\texttt{0} \end{tabbing} \end{figure}$

TAUCRI: 0 indicates full shear retention. No further values are necessary.

Constant shear retention (syntax)

$\begin{figure}\centering \begin{tabbing} \texttt{'MATERI'} \\ [-1.0ex] \rule{14... ... \>\>\texttt{BETA}\>\texttt{\textit{beta}}$_{r}\,$ \end{tabbing} \end{figure}$

TAUCRI: 1 indicates constant shear retention.
BETA: beta is the factor $\beta$ . ( 0 $\leq$ $\beta$ < 0.999 )
