CIP RC/PT Girder performs a stress check based on the combined stresses for the Initial and Final, and analysis cases. These stresses are calculated based on the combined moment and axial forces at each POI and the cross section properties of that location. Note that CIP RC/PT Girder uses non-transformed section properties at the Initial case (i.e., PT is not transformed), and transformed section (PT is transformed) at the Final cases. CIP RC/PT Girder calculates the allowable stresses based on the concrete strength fci or fck input by the user and the allowable stress factors. The allowable stresses are checked for all applicable stress combinations.

Note that for reinforced sections (sections without PT) the stresses are calculated using cracked-section analysis. Stresses that exceed the allowable are flagged.
