Moments

This section gives the magnitude and location of the design moments with the associated capacities.

SettingDescription
Span This indicates the span for which the values are being listed. It includes Left for left cantilever, Right for right cantilever, and Center for main span.
Cond This indicates the load condition. It includes:
SettingDescription
PreCmp+ Construction Dead Load and Construction Live Load positive moment (top flange in compression). Values reported are from the support of cantilevers and at the maximum positive moment location for the mid-span of the beam (listed for composite beams only).
PreCmp- Construction Dead Load and Construction Live Load negative moment (bottom flange in compression). Values reported are from the support of cantilevers and at the maximum negative moment location for the mid-span of the beam (listed for composite beams only).
Init DL Construction Dead Load (listed for composite beams only)
Max + Maximum Positive Moment
Max - Maximum Negative Moment
