# Tendon Stressing \[STG]

## Tendon Stressing

For additional loads that arise due to using Tendons for structural elements can be calculated and defined using this object.

**Stage:** This parameter can be used to specify the stage at which the load is initially applied to the structure.

**Tendon:** Selecting the modeled tendon that will be used for load calculations is done by specifying this parameter.

**Stressing at Start (%):** Jacking force at the start point of the tendon.

**Stressing at End (%):** Jacking force at the end point of the tendon.

**Instantaneous Elastic Shortening Loss\[Ignore/Include]:** The immediate loss of prestressing force in the tendons due to the elastic shortening of the concrete upon the application of the prestressing force can be defined using this parameter.
