- 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 an explanation how torsion is implemented.
- Code Rules are applied as shown in the following table.

|
RC |

Beam |
8.1, 8.2, 8.3* |
8.1, 8.2, 8.3* |
One-Way Slab

8.1, 8.2, 8.3* |
8.1, 8.2, 8.3* |
Two-Way Slab |
8.1, 8.2, 8.3* |
8.1, 8.2, 8.3* |
Note: * - 8.3 is applied only if
"beam" torsion is selected (see torsion design notes)
