Strength
- Tendons are considered as an
internal section force (and the hyperstatic loading is assumed to be included
in the load factors).
- The reinforcement type (as
defined in the design section or design strip segment) is considered (PT or
RC).
- The stress levels in the
structure are determined by the moment envelope for the rule set (failure could
occur on both faces).
- See
Torsion Considerations for how torsion is
implemented.
- Code Rules are applied as
shown in the following table.
