Strength

  • 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.
