UBC DL + 0.25 LL

  • UBC section 1918.9.2.2 is implemented.
  • 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).
  • Unbonded tendons are assumed to have no stress.
  • A strength reduction factor (φ) of 1.0 is used in the ACI calculations.
  • Code Rules are applied as shown in the following table.
