Environment
The environmental conditions for a member can be specified in this window. The range of conditions is based on the chapter 4.2 of EN 1992-1-1. The conditions influence the calculation of minimum (indicative) strength class and minimum reinforcement cover. These procedures are described in the chapters "Indicative strength class" and "Minimum cover" of theoretical help.
