Comparison with PT Flat Plate Tutorial

The results of the Strip Wizard analysis are similar but not the same as the PT Flat Plate Tutorial. The reasons for different results include:

  • Strip Wizard does not automatically consider transverse continuity effects.
  • Increased balcony loads not considered by Strip Wizard.
  • Strip Wizard automatically modified the drapes in spans 2 and 3 (you can change these if you wish).
  • Longitude tendons not considered by Strip Wizard.
