Irregular column layouts

Laying out design strips for irregular column layouts requires consideration of a number of issues.

These include:

  1. Skew angles: whether latitude and longitude design strips should be strictly orthogonal.
  2. If tendons components from two directions are affecting the design strip.
The following sections discuss these issues.
