Moment Capacity Report

This report shows the moment capacity check results for post-tensioned concrete bridges . . The maximum moment and minimum moment requirements are shown in different rows.



The POI and Location columns show the name and location of the POI. The Mu column shows the moment demand, which includes only the secondary moment for the post-tensioning (PT). If the maximum demand is negative, it is reported as 0.00. Likewise, if the minimum moment is positive, it is reported as 0.00.

The Phi*Mn column shows the moment capacity value as calculated based on the code specification equations. Note that this calculation ignores the compression steel. Furthermore, the tendon area is considered for positive moment capacity if located below the CG of the section, and for negative moment capacity if located above it.

The Cap/Mu column shows the controlling capacity/demand ratio.
