Project Tab
The Project Tab Screen is the first screen that you encounter in Precast/Prestressed Girder. It contains specific information related to the project, design code specification, units' selection, and span type.
The Span Type offers three choices to select from: Simple Span, Multi Span (continuous) and Multi Span (non-continuous). The Simple Span options allow you to specify information for only one span at a time. The Multi Span (non continuous) option allows you to enter a series of simple spans, and treats all superimposed dead and live loads as acting on the Simple Span model only. The Multi Span (continuous) option should only be selected if the live loads and dead load on composite are to be treated as acting on the continuous spans, and you would like the program to design the deck reinforcement in the negative moment zone.
