• Tendons are considered as an external load (and the balance 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 (reinforcement may be required on both faces).
• The design strip segment or design section property "Environment" is used to determine the class of post-tensioned members as follows:
  • Protected: Class C
  • Normal: Class T
  • Corrosive: Class U
  • Very Corrosive: Class U
• Code Rules are applied as shown in the following table
