Design Results Reports
The Design tab is used to view Design results and to design flexure and shear rebar layouts. Click the Design Results button on the Design tab to view the Design Results screen.
This screen can display both text and graphic analysis results. The window has three drop-down lists (five when graphical results are displayed), which allow you to select a variety of reports. The content of some of the drop-down lists is dependent on the current selection of one or more of the other drop-down lists. For example, The Load Combination drop-down lists shows the list of combinations for the selected case in the Case drop down lists.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Case | The Case drop-down shows the three cases of Initial, Final, and Final w/o Sway. |
| Load Combination |
This drop-down lists show the load combinations that are available for the current case. Combinations include the user-defined Service and factored (Strength) combinations as well as service and Live load combinations that are added by CIP RC/PT Girder. |
| Stress Check | This report shows the actual and allowable stresses at top and bottom of the section. In some cases, the stress check may only be applicable to tension or compression check. |
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Required P-Jack | This report shows the required jacking force for top and bottom of each section. If no post-tensioning is present in the model, this report is not available. |
| Required Compressive Strength of Concrete | This report shows the required f'c (f'ci in the Initial case) for top and bottom of each section. If no post-tensioning is present in the model, this report is not available. |
| Design for Flexure | Reports show checks for permissible stresses in concrete and steel for R.C. bridges and the moment demand and capacity at each section for post-tensioned concrete bridges. The moment capacity is calculated based on the selected method (Equations in IRC18 or Strain Compatibility method using the Whitney Stress Block). |
| Design for Shear | Reports show the permissible stress checks for concrete and steel for R.C. bridges and the shear demand and capacity at each section. The shear stirrup area per unit length is also reported, and if not adequate, the required value is reported. Flags on this report indicate if shear stirrup was adequate or designed. |
| Other Design Reports | In addition to the reports from the Design Tab, other reports are available from the Print Report dialog box, and are only available in text form. These include the following. |
| PT Elongation | This report shows the tendon elongation. Anchor set loss forces and distances are also shown in this report. |
| Design Summary | This report shows the capacity to demand (C/D) ratios for moment, shear, tensile stress, compressive stress, and live load deflection in a concise report summarizing the controlling C/D ratios for all applicable combinations for the selected case. |
| Detailed Moment Capacity | This report shows all the applicable intermediate data that was calculated in the process of calculation of the moment capacity results. |
| Detailed Shear Capacity | This report shows all the applicable intermediate data that was calculated in the process of calculation of the shear capacity results. |
